Sunward park worse school

That school is very bad white teachers there calls other black kids lazy and that's why half of the black population in south Africa are unemployed because of their laziness they don't even allow children to wear warm jerseys inside their school jersey when its cold they expect them to wear blazers even tho they don't know that blazers are also cold they even don't care if a child is being mistreated by a teacher they side with the teacher and they will always side with the teacher because they think teachers are always right they don't even allow beads because white teachers there think they are sangomas that school is not disciplined they think it is but they are making it worse no wonder kids there throw house parties,bunk classes and do drugs there are no fun activities each term or at least a year that school doesn't deserve a one star there are also racist teachers there they keep saying our kids are lazy they don't study but they don't really know what they have been through parents and children there are complaining about that one teacher who think she rules the school or even discipline them but we are not there that school needs new teachers to understand young teens the food the is so expensive like it was made by God's blood

Thank God it's my last year

One thing about the school is that it is never boring, it it however not beneficial to actual learning. The school does not offer any weekend classes, they only offer after-school classes, learners do not attend them because they do not have the energy to go concentrate, the tuckshop menu is complete trash, learners can't even get any nutrition from the food sold, some students sell muffins/scones and drinks which are of reasonable price and actually taste like food unlike the school tuckshop that sells food that should not have a place outside a dustbin, the crazy part is that the prices of these foods do not even add up with the quality, e.g Cold Vienna in a hard bun with a drop of tomato sauce, at least I hope for R25. I'm pretty sure this is a scam from any perspective. Even the stoners there don't eat the food there.

The students who see a business in selling muffins and drinks of good quality constantly get their stock confiscated but the teacher who I shall not name( Gives wet Willie's to students in between classes, puts wet mops used to clean the toilets on students faces) he is allowed to sell very small brownies at a high price on behalf of his daughter who changed schools after 1 year there, he sells without any problems from the school staff.

The schools security definitely needs attention, from my personal experience I have been man handled by the block controllers, they pushed me down the stairs and forced me to take a drug test against my will after school, this made me miss the bus as I was forced to listen to a long as hell speech from the vice principal even when I tested negative on the test. They only offered me a phone call for making me miss the bus, meanwhile I had no money and my parents were out of the province.

To some things up, If you are not white, you will regret your time there.

Should not be your first choice.

Honestly from my experience of attending at this school I would give it a thumbs down. Bullying is something that is pushed aside at this school and not taken seriously. Teachers are free to insult learners and get off scott-free. Learners are limited in terms of extra curricular activities and the tuckshop food is very expensive and not necessarily the best quailty food you will recieve. Classrooms can get very filthy and the bathrooms(mainly in the A Block) are horrendous. Children bunk class or even skip school. The wifi sucks! The design of the uniform is not eyecatching at ALL! Sending your child to this school may increase the chances of him/her suffering from mental health issues and it would just not be beneficial for you to spend thousands of rands for school fees if you want to recieve crappy service from it.

Past experiences

Sunward Park High is a brilliant school .It makes sure that learners are at school at all time and it does not strain learner ..All learners are perhaps treated equally .They do not let bullies and other school harms unattended

Avoid taking your children here ,at all costs !!!

I have personally attended at this school and i must say , it is not a good school anymore, there are no promt fascilities for learners to extend their sport abilities, leraners are deprived of actually enjoying their teenage years there. The school is just a business playground now,the principal does not even show much attention to it even anymore,her focus has shifted to the other part of sunward which is privats by the way and they even have more and better privilages than the original school. In samersion the school is just trash ,my advice as a former learner there is that avoid taking your kids there,they have brighter and prosperous journeys elsewhere !!!!

Rugby!!!

The school is very good with academics but the problem is they don’t have rugby and most students in that school want rugby that’s why most students are leaving from SPHS to Elspark high due to rugby

CORRUPT SHIT SCHOOL

Sunward park high is shit, the school is shit the teachers are shit don’t bother reporting bullying or assault at school coz they do nothing about it in fact they do nothing about everything, the students are shit ,the principal is shit ,students have sex in the bathrooms and stairs ,it is not a safe environment at all , there are no guards after schools so anything and everything can happen to you, the school does not care about student safety!!! The tuck shop prices are very highly for the shit food they sell even a pie at the petrol station is lower priced and more good tasting then the food there , the sports are shit very limited for students,, No school culture the school has no respect for African culture at all black children (including amasangoma) with cultural beads are forced to take them out and are called witches by the principal her pet Ms walji so that is no place for African children to embrace their cultural beliefs. Toilet are never cleaned like that’s why I would never go there coz the way they do dirty you would swear after using those toilets you’ll come out with all types of STDs and STIs shem 🙌 The classrooms are mostly cleaned by students so if you as a parent wants to send your child there to clean the classrooms during learning periods instead of learning feel free to send them to Sunward Park High .that’s why I left that shit place grade 10 ever since I left I started passing my grades in a safe environment for my physical and mental health ,thank god I left that shit hole🙏🏿 ,,,,SHIT SCHOOL too bad there is no zero star review

Is SPHS the best place to take my child?

SPHS is a good school iv ternary of education and is the perfect place for your child to learn to cope with university pressure.If,however,you want your child to somehow find themselves and grow in a non-academic way,then sunward park isn't the place to take your child as the pressure can sometimes make it hard to have a social life without the grades suffering a bit.

Motivational Speaker

As a student at Sunward Park High school, it's the best school. It is very balanced with leading teachers with all the subjects. The discipline is very strict and is very focused on development. They also provide interventions to boost the learners marks.

Review of Sunward Park high School

The school is quite balanced with leading teachers across subjects. It is known to be very innovative and had been one of the first government schools to implement e-learning. The school has strict discipline and is quite focused on development. Teachers emlyn after school tutorials to help improve the mark's of learners.
