Our Mission
"We are committed to providing a functional and modern school that enable quality teaching and learning, protecting and promoting the right of every learner to quality, equitable, and relevant education."
Hoërskool John Vorster aims to give meaningful expression to the broad educational goal of guiding young people towards adulthood. This guidance involves, firstly, the creation of a climate of acceptance and loving engagement with every child — an atmosphere in which every child feels safe and secure, allowing their unique talents to flourish fully.
It further encompasses mutual respect and interaction in which every child progressively develops and grows through the cultivation of healthy and effective life skills and values. We strive to establish exceptional life skills that equip the child in a total and balanced way for life. To give expression to these broad principles, the following facets are pursued and developed:
- The establishment of a personal value system.
- Participation in cultural activities and the adoption of cultural values and traditions.
- Participation in physical activities, especially sport and the cultivation of a healthy body and team spirit.
- Learning the skills to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
- Acquiring basic skills that will ensure effective communication.
- Developing specific intellectual skills to understand and advance the world with insight and competence.
- Preparation for an appropriate and meaningful career.
- Responsible citizenship.
- The full realisation of every child's potential.
- Upholding the school anthem, school motto, and school crest.
