“A winner is a dreamer who never gives up”

Dear Parents, Staff and Students

As a school community we can only thrive if we have the full co-operation of parents and guardians. By full co-operation we mean that you pay your school fees, you send your child to school in full school uniform everyday and you ensure that they are punctual. You communicate with us when your child is sick or going to be late. You attend parent meetings. You ensure that your child is working at home, doing homework, completing tasks, practicing math and math literacy on a daily basis. You engage with them positively around the school rules and value words.

We are blessed as a school family to have the full co-operation of a hard working and diligent staff. Our target is 100% pass for all and 100% of students upholding the values of respect, kindness, care, dedication and commitment. 100% of students abiding by the code of conduct. This is our mission as we strive for excellence at Windsor High School.

We understand that our children will make poor decisions at times but when it becomes repetitive then it means that they are not developing into the mature, responsible young adults that we are mentoring. It means that additional interventions are needed and this becomes the direct responsibility of parents and guardians with the school being the supportive agent.

The actions I am referring to that have zero tolerance at Windsor High are students’ late coming, bullying each other, selling of anything, smelling like dagga and smoking of any sort. Disrespecting the rule of the school being a cell phone free zone during school hours of 08:00 to 15:00 will now come to an end.

The Search and Seizure took place on Thursday, 23rd April. This was led by the Lansdowne SAP with the support of Metro police and the Maitland Dog Unit. We thank them for this support as we ensure the safety of all at Windsor High.

What did this reveal? We recovered 1 knife, 1 dagga tube and 1 dagga pipe. These students immediately face a disciplinary hearing and an intervention to support them.

We also recovered many lighters, vapes and cigarettes.

Many learners have their cell phones in their school bag or on their person. Parents/Guardians teach them to be responsible, engage with your child around these matters. Cell phones must be handed in at reception or left at home.

Our school site can be considered safe and we will continue to do everything in our power to maintain a drug and weapon free zone. This includes a cell phone free zone for students during school hours.

This past week we had an inspiring whole school assembly. Our student leaders motivated the assembly by focusing on our value words while our guest speaker, Professor Jansen of Stellenbosch University had a message of resilience [bouncing back] and hope that all students must believe in themselves.

Once again I want to express how proud I am of our students. The co-operation during the search and seizure was amazing. I know that many of our students were anxious during this process.

Thank you students of Windsor High!

Congratulations to our Volleyball teams who won their games against Oude Molen High this week and we wish them well for this coming week as they take on Michael Oak on Tuesday. To the captains Tyler Adams and Mika Petersen, keep shining in your leadership of this vibrant sporting code. Thank you to coach Matthews for his guidance and training of the teams. Also we commend our Debating team on their victory against Steenberg High. Well done to educator Mr Danielle and Joseph from Tores Foundation. Congrats WHS Debating club.

The week ahead is a 3 day week. All students must attend school. On the 30th April we will have our Civvies fundraiser. All learners must contribute and the register educator will keep record. Those in uniform pay R10-00 and those in Civvies pay R20-00. The grades 8 and 9 will write their EMS assessment and the grades 10, 11 and 12 will write the History/Cat test. Attached is the June Examination Time Table. Grade 12 parents are reminded that the 7th period is a compulsory period. It is an extension of the school day for the Class of 2026.

We pray for Africa and South Africa as we celebrate Africa Day and Freedom Day this weekend. We remember the sacrifices made for us to be free and equal. We pray for the safety and protection of the Windsor family. En AvanteKind Regards

We congratulate the register teacher, Mr Danielle and the Math educators Mr Mabusela, Ms Nika and Mr Authers. The challenge is now on for term 2. Parents/Guardians we have registered all grade 8 and 9 students and the FET pure Math learners. This is a personal tutor for your child. They can practice at school during breaks in the digital lab and after school on a Tuesday and Thursday. They can practice at home every day. The school has paid for this resource and it is free to be used and accessible 24 hours. You have no excuse for your child to fail Math. Practice practice!!!!!

School fees 2026

The school fees for the year are R9500-00. Attached are the banking details. We are a fee paying school and fully reliant on the school fees that you pay as parents/guardians. If you have applied for partial exemption, you need to continue to pay monthly. Check in with your child as the sealed response letters will be sent home with your child.

Civvies Day 30th April 26

Formal tests will be written on this day. Grades 8 and 9 will be writing EMS and grades 10 to 12 will be writing History/CAT. Parents/guardians do ensure that your child is well prepared to do their best. This means studying well in advance. It is compulsory for all students in uniform to pay R10-00 and those in casual clothes will pay R20-00. This is one of the few fundraisers we have for the year.

Search and Seizure: A reminder that we are a drug free zone. No dangerous weapons are allowed. The SAP will conduct a search and seizure.

We are also a cell phone free zone for learners during school hours. All students to wear the full school uniform including a blazer. As we approach winter, it is important for students to wear the proper rain wear, scarves and caps. Aspire Uniform shop in Imam Haroon Road stocks the official winter scarf and cap/beanie and rain jacket.

All textbooks must be covered with a strong plastic. Our system has a scanning code and each textbook is linked to a student name. Lost and damaged books cost R250-00 each.

Thank you for your co-operation in all of the above, parents, staff and students.

We wish the Windsor Family a productive week ahead and we pray for the safety and protection of all.

Dear Parents, Staff and Students

We have had a bumper week of activity while simultaneously ensuring a strong week of academics. Congratulations to our class of 2026 for organizing an extremely successful Valentines Day program. Thank you to the Grade 12 team of register educators. A special shout out must go to Ms De Kock for her leading role in managing this event.

The debating team participated in their first formal debate and emerged the victors against an unbeaten South Peninsula High team. Well done to the team made up of Leah Kannemeyer, Tyler Adams, Elam Mpondonqi and Tyler Prinsloo. We also thank Mr Daniel, our teacher in charge. We are part of the Tores foundation debate Club and thank Coach Josef for his guidance.

The Inter- Zonal Athletics competition took place this weekend and we congratulate all our athletes who participated in this competition. The Volleyball teams had their first friendly games against Rylands High this week as part of their pre-season training. Netball training has commenced. The Marching Band and the Eco club continue to thrive. The Christian and Muslim societies as well. We congratulate all our readers who received awards from Exclusive Books at the “Reading is Kwaai” prize giving at Cavendish Square. We thank Mr Nigel Mortley our mobile librarian for this initiative that has now become an annual tradition. We are proud to announce that our top reader for 2025 is Skyla Valentine. Well done Skyla!!

We encourage all students to get involved in the after school program whether it is a sport, cultural club and / or society. The RCL has completed all their elections and their leaders Sharon Mashonga and Perucy Sotyatyo, represented the school at the Education district workshop for RCL Leaders. We are proud of you and of all our students who are involved in positive activities at the school. Keep serving with kindness, care and respect.

This communication also serves to inform the Windsor family that the school governing body has applied to the SAP to do a search and seizure for illegal substances and weapons. Warrant Officer Manyahke, the school’s liaison officer, has informed the school that this will be done randomly. We will not be informed of when it will take place. The reason why this is being done is to ensure that the school remains a place of safety. We are a drug and weapon free zone. Cigarettes, vapes, weed are examples of illegal substances. Pepper spray, pocket knives, sharp objects, lighters are examples of illegal weapons.

“It takes a village to raise a child“

We appeal to our parents that collect their children from school to report to us any inappropriate behavior that is seen when students are dismissed at the end of the day. Report it immediately so that we can deal with this display of disrespect. As said before the overwhelming majority of Windsor High students are respectful, we are working hard with a few students to teach them what respect looks like and that they have to take accountability for their disrespect and the negative public image they portray. A child is taught values of respect at home, yet as a staff we have to spend far too much time dealing with disrespect before school, in the classroom and after school. Thank you to those parents/guardians who collaborate and support the staff in this societal issue that we are forced to manage.

The week ahead becomes the start of a very holy period for both Christians and Muslims as we approach the start of Lent and Ramadan. We pray for our communities and the Windsor family during this holy period. En AvantKind Regards
