Hear it first-hand from our students. See and hear why you too should choose Pinelands High School.
We are so proud and excited to be unveiling our new school crest. This is an historic day in the sixty-nine year history of our school, as over three years of work and consultation come to fruition in a new symbol which we believe captures the spirit and values of our school.
The crest is unveiled in this video by our 2021 school leaders who embraced this moment with all of the dignity and passion that it deserves.

Dear Pinelands High School community
With the end of the tax year approaching, we want to encourage individuals or businesses to consider reducing their tax by making a donation of up to 10% of their annual taxable income. We know that many have experienced a difficult year, but there may be some who are in a position to consider this option.
Pinelands High School, as a public school, is registered under the covering of the WCED as a Public Benefit Organisation with Section 18A status. Any donation you make could go to one of the following: the PHS Bursary Fund (to help support deserving and financially challenged students), the Capital Development Fund (for campus upgrades) or PHS Cares (to help support families in need in our community). If you would like to, you can specify which of these you want to support. For South African companies, a donation to PHS may earn you BEE points.
If you would still like to make a contribution before the end of the tax year (28th February 2021) please make a deposit into the PHS account: Pinelands High School, Standard Bank, Pinelands (036309), current account: 073023671. Please send your payment confirmation and request for a Section 18A receipt to cfranck@phs.org.za with your/your business full name and residential/physical address, plus the name of the specific
fund to which you wish the donation to be directed.
Thank you for your partnership with us. We can do so much more together than we could ever do apart.

If you missed our showcase feature at #WorldEduWeek on 6 October 2020 never fear! You can watch the recording of our live event by clicking on the link below.
Our showcase was titled: A Transformative Journey: tackling bias & racism in a diverse society. We showcased our Rainbow Camp programme which is run for Grade 11 students every year and has been running for 21 years. The camp s a transformative experience which has at its heart the desire to grow and develop young people and to equip them to be leaders of change in our fractured world, and in particular in our post-Apartheid society.
