    Dear Parents, Staff and Students

    Thank you to the Windsor family for coming together as a team and hosting a successful Derby Day with Islamia, Groote Schuur and Groenvlei High. Team work is definitely dream work. Congratulations to all our athletes and coaches who participated in the sporting codes of Volleyball, table tennis, netball, football and rugby. We applaud the winners of the various events. Well done to our staff members serving on the sports committee who played a leading role in the success of this sporting event: Mr Toefy, Mr Young, Mr Danielle, Mr VD Merwe, Mr Morris and Coach Matthews.

    The parents serving on the school governing body deserve to be commended for their leadership in organizing this event and volunteering on the day. We thank the broader parent community for all the donations and support. Thank you to our student leaders within the RCL and the grade helpers at the stalls. To our staff, thank you for always being committed and dedicated in serving our children so responsibly. Finally, we say thank you to all our students who supported this event.

    The week ahead:

    It is important to note that school will dismiss at 2pm this week as there are June examinations being written from tomorrow onwards. I have attached the updated June Exam time table again. There is one change. Eid Al Adha has been confirmed for Thursday, therefore there will be normal school on Wednesday.

    We have once again a combination week of normal classes and formal assessments being written. In addition, the grade 10 learners will be doing their Consumer practical this week. Attached is the group list. This is a formal assessment.

    We are at the point in the term where all tasks, projects, oral tasks for languages must be completed. All students should be preparing and studying for the examination approaching. We appeal to our parents and guardians to monitor your child at home to ensure that they are studying.

    We pray for a productive week ahead. We ask the Almighty to keep the Windsor family safe and protected. We are filled with gratitude for all the blessings we receive as a school family. We pray especially for our children that they may be focused and make good choices.Kind Regards

    Dear Parents, Staff and Students

    I am filled with gratitude for the co-operation of the Windsor family during this past interrupted week that was beyond our control. Thank you especially to our parents and guardians for adjusting your schedules to the school program. What started as a stormy week ended calmly and in high spirits with a junior football final, round 2 of the Maths Olympiad, Casio calculator training for all Math Lit students from grades 10 to 12, two full days of teaching, a formal Math/Math Lit assessment from grades 8 to 12 and an excursion on Friday evening to the Baxter theatre to see Rise 76. Thank you to Ms Nicholas for organizing this theatre experience for our students. Thank you to all staff for their dedication this past week.

    I commend our students for their resilience during this past week. You have made me proud. In my class observation of the past week, I have seen students in full school uniform, working well in class, notebooks up to date and good interaction in the lesson. Where notebooks were not up to date, there was a promise to get it up to date. I will follow up with these learners on Monday.

    Congratulations to grade 9E for winning the Junior Football Inter Class tournament. The opponents grade 8A must be commended for their resilience and excellent display of skills throughout this tournament.

    We look forward to a productive week of teaching this coming week. We have to navigate teaching alongside subject formal assessments taking place. As parents/guardians we are making you aware of the formal assessments taking place this week so that you can ensure that your child is present at school and prepared for the assessment. Consumer Studies practical will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for grade 11. Business Studies test for grades 10, 11 and 12 from Monday. Casio calculator training for all pure Math students in grades 10, 11 and 12 on Tuesday. Ensure that your child has a calculator. Then grade 12 Tourism students will be doing their formal NSC PAT on Wednesday and Thursday. This is a 4 hour assessment on each day and therefore the grade 12 Tourism students will be dismissed at 13:30 on both days. The rest of the school will dismiss as per normal at 15:00.

    We are meeting selected grade 12 students and parents on Wednesday evening at 18:00. The venue will be the minor hall in the school building as it is a smaller group and the main hall is being used for the NSC exam. Grade 12 students should have received a letter and register educators will inform you as the grade 12 parent. Your child must accompany you to this important meeting.

    On Wednesday morning, we will have a coffee vendor at school from 07:00 to 08:00 who will be selling hot chocolate to students at the cost of R25-00.

    Our week will end with Derby Day on Friday, 22nd May. Gates will open at 13:30 and games will commence at 14:15. We appeal to our parents to support your grade stall. Entrance fee is R20-00 to all in Civvies and R10-00 to those in school uniform. We wish our teams well. We work hard and we play hard.

    Attached to this circular is again the June exam Time Table, the final NSC November exam Time Table, the Math Olympiad top learners and the school banking details. School fees must be paid as per normal.

    We pray to the Almighty for the safety and protection of the Windsor family.

  • Weekly Circular 26 April 2026

    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

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

    Thank you to the Windsor family for supporting our student leaders, Yahya Abader and Zahra Salie, who organized the IFTAR on Friday evening. A job well done and welcomed by the school management. This has become a tradition as it is the third year that the school hosts the Iftar but historic in that it is the first time that students took the lead. We are so proud of you both Yahya 12C and Zahra 12D. Thank you to all who attended this blessed occasion.

    School Uniform: The blazer is a compulsory item of the school uniform and must be worn. We have a second hand uniform shop at school for those who wish to exchange a blazer that has become too small at a minimum cost. We also have blazers available to purchase. We will not allow learners to make up their own uniform. The only skirt allowed to be worn is the check skirt. Navy or grey skirts have NEVER been part of the school uniform. We will exchange check skirts that have become too small for one from the uniform shop at a minimum cost as well. There are no excuses, parents/guardians and students. Break DT is the consequence for any uniform infringement.

    Outstanding School Fees: This message is to the grades 9 to 12 parents. All families with outstanding balances of over R2000-00 as at 31 December 2025 have been handed over to our debt collectors. They have started their communication with you and all your queries will be dealt with by the Prosum team and not the school. Grade 8 parents and guardians do take note as we are serious about all paying their school fees. The current year 2026 school fees are handled by the bursar. Grade 12 parents, you are reminded that the 2026 school fees must be paid and up to date by 31 August 2026 for your child to be invited to the Matric Ball.

    Textbooks: All textbooks must be covered with plastic. This is to protect the books from damage. Each book has a scanning code linked to the students’ name. Damaged and lost books are costs incurred by the student and for the parents’ account. We have issued books to students who have returned their textbooks from the previous year.

    Outreach: Attached is an appeal for support of the sandwich drive by the community outreach society.

    The week ahead:

    Dismissal time for the week ahead is at 2pm for students as the March test commences this week. Attached again is the test time-table. This communication also serves to inform parents/guardians that the test time-table will be extended to cover informal tests. The extension program of assessment will be forwarded in our next communication. Study hard and prepare well for the March test series.

    We are filled with gratitude for all the blessings bestowed on the Windsor family and we pray for peace in our family, in our communities and in the world.

    Parent Communication 1 March 2026

    01 March 2026

    Dear Parents, Staff and Students

    The weekly communication serves to keep the Windsor family informed of the week ahead and to reflect on the past week. It aims to provide you with transparency of what is happening at school so that as a school community we can support our children to reach their full potential.

    Reflection: This past week the Spirit Club leaders, under the guidance of Ms Nika, launched the Anti-Bullying Campaign. We commend the following grade 11 students for taking this initiative: Iviwe Ntsebezo, Qhoma Soknanyive, Ashley Zora, Luniko Mayiza and Liyema Hene. In addition, the grade 8 students have been guided through a program by their register teacher explaining what bullying entails and how it impacts others. Thank you to Ms Mally the grade head.

    In the week ahead all grades will be reflecting on this societal issue. Windsor High chooses kindness.

    Our value words of commitment and dedication speaks directly to our engagement with the most important sphere of our holistic education, that is, the academics/ the curriculum content and the assessment thereof. This past week the grade 12 mathematics students committed themselves to daily practice of mathematics in a badging ceremony led by Mr Authers, in the presence of myself and Ms Hanslo, the grade head. They will lead the campaign to ensure that all our students from grades 8 to 11 practice on Siyavula daily, by being the example. The class who scores the highest points will be treated to a Pizza Party as a reward. We encourage especially our grades 8 and 9 to get into this competition. Show the seniors that you can do it. Attached are the current positions for both the top class and the top student.

    Sport: The Volleyball boys team had a victory against Belgravia High and the Softball team won against Fish Hoek High School. Well done to all our players.

    The week ahead: We commence this coming week with a gender assembly. All the male students will be addressed by the male staff and the female students will be addressed by the female staff in separate venues. Parents and guardians are reminded of the random search and seizure that will take place. We have focused on our value word of respect and will continue to have zero tolerance for any form of disrespect displayed by students towards any staff member. We once again want to commend the vast majority of our students who are consistently respectful and kind. Keep on shining!

    March Test Series: A hard copy of the time table was handed to each learner this past week. Attached is a soft copy for the perusal of parents. We commence on the 12th March 2026. All students should be preparing for this important formal assessment.

    School Fees: This is a reminder to all families to ensure that school fees are paid on a monthly basis. We are a fee paying public school. Our annual school fees are R9500-00. Windsor High School is one of the most cost effective schools in our area surpassing and outperforming our neighboring public and private schools in the National Senior Certificate examination. We provide a quality education for our children at minimal costs. It is the responsibility of parents/guardians to pay school fees. Bank details attached.

    We pray for peace in the world, especially in the Middle East. We pray for the Windsor Family and the communities we come from. May we choose kindness! Let us respect ourselves and others.

    Dear Parents, Staff and Students

    During this holy period of both Ramadan and Lent we pray for our families, for our children and for our communities to be united in sharing and caring for others. We are extremely proud of our students at Windsor High as they take the initiative to lead various projects, for their participation in activities of the school and to simply be kind and respectful. We are proud of our students who report to their teachers when they witness negative behavior or are victims of negative behavior by their peers. We sense a positive shift in our school community as no staff member and more students have zero tolerance for disrespect and negative behavior.

    Congratulations:

    To Azari Fredericks for her selection into the WP Baseball team.

    To our Debating team, Aaliyah Parsley, Rujeko Masimbiti, Christin Frans and Shaneez Mutseura for being the runners up in a special competition of 4 high schools. Shaneez is the team captain and president who achieved a perfect score in the final round.

    To Mikhail Poole, Live Ngalmane, Mikaylin Richards, Zaarah Davids, Tamsyn Van Harte and Lisakhanya Gcaza for being selected into the Table View District team to participate in the WP Athletics Championships. To Coach Toefy for being selected to manage the u15 team.

It will be held in room 1 from 15:10 to 16:10. This is compulsory for the identified students. The same for grade 8 math intervention. This will be held on a Tuesday and Thursday during 2nd break in room 7.

    Parents, by now, all math students must be registered on Siyavula and should be practicing daily. Grade 12 parents are reminded that 7th period is compulsory. Attached again for your perusal is the Time Table. All learners in all grades should be working at home for 2 hours daily in preparation for the March Test Series..

    School Fee Exemption Forms

    Due to Ramadan and Lent we will not have a parent meeting to distribute the forms. Your child may collect the form from the bursar’s office on Monday. The form with all attached documents must be returned by Friday, 20th March 2026. If you need any clarity you may email the school.
