School is being ruined slowly
They employ bad reputation people and every term many teachers leave, bad staff turnover, heard many bad stories, don't send your child here.

Thank you Suthies
My daughter had an awesome 5 years at Suthies. From studies to sport to leadership, she emerged from her cacoon into a delightful, confident young lady.

The Harsh Reality of Sutherland High
Sutherland high is one of the worst, if not the worst school. Majority of the teachers take advantage of their authority and are racist and prejudice towards the students. Sutherland high is not at all a school of high prestige however some teachers act as if its the be all or end all. The discipline office is extremely rude, and at times racist towards the kids and they take advantage if they want to. Sutherland is not a school, it is a prison-w a security guard banging on the door while I'm doing my business in the toilet; to teachers taking advantage of their authority. An educator will intentionally mistreat you because they can and if you stand up for yourself they take that as disrespect immediately earning you 25 demerits. There are only a pinch of good teachers in the school who do not act like what i have mentioned above and actually teach well, however, majority of the teachers as what I have mentioned above, overrule the actual good teachers I have had good interactions with. The overall standard of the school has dropped in the past 12-15 years due to lack of passion for teaching, lack of management, non recurring training, no ways in-order to deal with students, no action taken against racist and prejudice teachers, especially in the discipline office, there has been no means to change- which creates the overall downfall of the school. Treating each student as a number with no area to be unique, to just obey, like a military school. The bullying in the school is heavy, children almost everyday in the school are targeted by kids who can take advantage of them, yet there is nothing done to stop these actions. There is a war that happens everyday at the tuck shop of kids pushing in and hurting each other just to get a snack, which makes it unsafe for younger grades to even get something. The prefects act as if they are part of school faculty and they are allowed to tell any grade what to do but at the end if the day its just a way to make them feel special, to show you did something, to get validation for it. The school is horrible and I would never recommend any parent no matter what situation they may be in to allow their kids to join this horrid school. DO NOT.

afrikaner learners and teachers are racist
the environment is toxic for people of color. the school's racist tactics of ignoring complaints of bullying against black kids is disheartening. don't take your child your to this school if you're a person of color.

Stop bullying
Sad to hear about the bullying incident at this school. This must come to a stop. As professionals you tell us as parents that our kids behavior starts at home, but other kids can get away with bullying at school under your nose and now you want to act surprised when you are exposed for allowing kids to get away with bullying. You are parents too, shame on you.

Bullies thrive at this school
This school promotes bullying and has no care for the suffering students go through due to bullying, they protect bullies and their parents, they also allow intimidation of victims and try to sweep things under the carpet
- Parent1.016 February 2025

This school protects bullies instead of protecting the victims. #we want justice for Khanyisile Stop bullying others nxa.

Bullying!
This school is a bullying enabler. Disgusting behavior, I wouldn't take my child to that school. The racism from whites in this school is on another level, teachers and learners are bullies. No thank you, shame on you.

BULLYING IS TOLERATED AND PROTECTED
Condones bullying and even the teachers themselves and SGB are bullies. We must find a way to close the school or better yet, change the current people who hold authority in the school. They’re failing our kids ?

Bullying
Hierdie skool is die swakste. Hulle neem boeliegedrag nie ernstig op nie, en die personeel in hierdie skool is self boelies, insluitend die skoolhoof. As jy boeliegedrag rapporteer, kies hulle kant. As daar ‘n nul-ster-gradering was, sou ek hulle nul uit 5 gee.

Racist and Condones Bullies
This school is extremely racist especially if you have a black child, they will not take any bullying case seriously and they will always defend the white children!

Condones Bullying
Condones bullying and protects the perpetrator and their families while the victims are left without dignity or support. Especially if they are white.
