High School for Girls Potchefstroom

A message from our Headmistress, Ms. G Duganzich:

Our passion for education extends beyond the walls of the classroom, as we strive to create an environment where every learner can thrive and excel in all four of the pillars of our school – whether it be academically, culturally, in the arena of sports or in the service of others.

At this school, we are dedicated to nurturing the potential within each and every girl. Together, we aim to instil our values of Pride, Respect, Integrity, Diligence and Empathy, and in so doing, equip our learners with the tools they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.

OUR VALUES 
PRIDE

To foster a sense of dignity and self-worth. To be proud of who we are, our achievements and our school. 

RESPECT

To honour the unique qualities that every student and staff member brings to the school.  To show respect, at all times, for oneself, others, human rights, and the environment. 

INTEGRITY

 To show honesty, sincerity, truthfulness and fairness in all of our dealings with others.

DILIGENCE

To show motivation, perseverance and a willingness to work through adversity. To have confidence in our ability to achieve our personal best.

EMPATHY

To have an understanding of the feelings of others based on an understanding of their inherent dignity and rights. 

Why an  all girls school?

As a parent, one of your most important duties is helping your daughter prepare for the future, and her education is a key factor.  

While your daughter’s goals may not yet be clear to her, you already know that her happiness and success begins with decisions you make today. Her time is now. 

That is why we encourage you to consider sending your daughter to the High School for Girls Potchefstroom. Our high academic learning environment is designed to make our young women the centre of learning, leadership, growth, and endless opportunity.  

Academics

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” – Kofi Anan

Boarding

As a boarder, hostel will become your daughter’s second home, which is why at Girls High, we believe that boarding should complement not replace family life.

Co-curricular 

We believe an holistic education is important for our girls’ development and therefore an extensive spectrum of both sport and cultural activities is on offer

Our Alumnae

Being part of a sisterhood means never being alone

With 119 years of history, Girls High boasts a strong group of alumnae, known as “Old Girls”. The most important aspect of the activities of the Old Girls’ Association must be fellowship and friendship, which begins at school and is carried on throughout a lifetime. Beyond this, the association actively promotes networking. Read more
