The School Governing Body (SGB) is a statutory body of parents, educators, non-teaching staff and learners (from Grade 8 or higher). It is mandated by the learners, parents, teaching, and non-teaching staff to set policies and rules that govern the school, and to monitor the implementation of the rules. The SGB is responsible for the control of funds including collection and spending of fees to ensure the school is maintained and developed to offer the best standard of education to learners.
The SGB subscribes to the belief that for a school to be extraordinary, it needs to do the ordinary, extremely well. Our recipe is simple, employ the best teachers, offer an impressive choice of subjects, offer an extensive list of extra murals including both sports and cultural activities and good results will follow.
Greenside High School is a fee-paying school and is thereby able to offer the following:
A vast range of subject choices including Electrical Technology, Computer Applications Technology, Dramatic Arts, Visual Arts, Information Technology, Engineering Graphics and Design, Business Studies, Consumer Studies, Advanced Program English, and Advanced Program Mathematics.
Our sports programs include chess, touch rugby, basketball, hockey, tennis, athletics, cross country, swimming, soccer, netball, cricket and rugby.
Cultural activities include eisteddfod, theatre productions, dance, debating, public speaking, art club and choir.
Considered one of the top government schools in the country that rivals the offering from private schools, but at a fraction of the cost, Greenside High School regularly produces top achieving matric learners.
From the time Grade 8’s start their orientation week, usually including an off-site camp, they can expect to be familiarised with the school and integrated, but not initiated. They can expect to progress through to matric in an environment that has a zero tolerance for bullying and ill-discipline but rather promotes individuality. They will continually be supported with extra lessons in all subjects operated daily at no additional costs.
Know that by choosing Greenside High School, your are investing in the future of your child.
