Racial Discrimination
I've faced racial discrimination from the "Coach" and the Principal of the school . If you are a person of colour (a person with coily hair) they will kick you out of the school even if you platt it down the the agreed length but if it as a person with straight hair they are allowed to relax/comb down their hair for it to seem short (the boys) . That is just one of the racial discrimination I've faced . Honestly do better

Ex learner from Soneike High School
My experience at Soneike High School was very negative. It became a place where I felt unfairly treated and unsafe. Both the principal and the discipline staff member contributed to creating an intimidating environment. The principal often shouted at learners, which made me feel uncomfortable and even fearful at times. The discipline staff member frequently disrupted lessons to check uniforms, hair, nails, and socks. With over 40 learners in a classroom, this took up a lot of valuable learning t...

Soneike High School has ruined my high school experience
Firstly, the environment of the school is not clean. There is always a certain smell outside and in the classrooms it is always dirty and dusty. Secondly, Soneike's rules are utterly unnecessary and often times lessons are disrupted for needless reasons, whether it is to check a students hair or earrings etc. The school cares more about appearance than anything else. The school is too small for the amount of students that attend Soneike High, there would be up to 50 learners in one small classroom, having to sit close to one another and very little room for movement. The staff has no respect for the students and parents. They are bias and often don't respect students boundaries. Staff members often mock students that are not academically doing well in school instead of encouraging them. And lastly, the principal often screams at students and even some teachers find her disrespectful and rude, these are just a couple of reasons of why soneike High is bad, but do yourselves and your child/children a favor and don't put them in this school.

outstanding service
One of the most outstanding schools. All educators are hardworking and reliable. They serve good purpose and their children are well groomed.

Problem
School cares more about your appearance then about your education or mental health.

Exceptional learning facility
I've never experienced a school where teachers are so committed to teaching. You can see the level of confidence in each child. The premises are neat and clean. Classrooms are well equipped. Discipline is the order of the day.

Soneike High School should do better
I honestly feel that things can be done better at the school especially with their rules. The fact that I have no control over what I do with my hair, what I wear in summer or even how to wear my socks. And the way the principle is so two-faced and fake is honestly not and how we are treated and sometimes discriminated against in that school by staff and teachers is really depressing.

It's a very welcoming and helpful environment for the learner's. The teachers are very loving and caring and go out of their way to assist the learners in any way they can. They deal exceptionally well with learner's who have learning barriers. No challenge is too big for the teachers. A wonderful school that provides a safe indoor and outdoor environment. You won't regret putting your child is this school.

An amazing team of teachers, staff, admin. The principle is humble and and very kind . It's learners feel valued and appreciated and the teachers value the students the same. They care and take interest in the learners weaknesses and strength, while giving them that sense of responsibility and preparing them for the future. It's a to class private school.

It's decent
The school is actually pretty good. It's a bully free zone and problems are at a minimum. A critique I have though is that the rules on dress code are a bit too tight as not all children can afford proper school clothes. As a current student there I would say it's good;I just preferably dislike the concept of school being the only option to survive and be happy with your life one day

Grade 8 B
I am still new grade but it's one of the most amazing . It's free zone of bullies and the teachers are kind and generous. It might look small but inside it has a big heart ??♥️

It's too unnecessarily stressful
In my experience I was genuinely miserable. For the first few years it was on my part due to depression however as I got older I noticed more and more issues. Majority of the teachers do not try to encourage learners to do better, instead demotivating them for their failures. The principal is extremely fake. Does not genuinely take care of learners the way she claims. She makes discriminating remarks about learners. Let that have poor academics are not genuinely helped and are mocked.
