We are thrilled to be relaunching our Academic Lecture Series to the wider Pinelands High School community.
These lectures aim to promote academic rigour amongst our students, and introduce them to South African experts and their pioneering research.
We have the pleasure of welcoming Professor Peter Dunsby to Pinelands High School on the 23 February 2022. He will be discussing Gravitation and Cosmology.
 
Professor Dunsby is the Director of the National Astrophysics and Space Science Programme at the University of Cape Town. As well as being a leading researcher in theoretical cosmology, he has made a major contribution to human resource development in Astronomy and Space Science in Southern Africa.

2021 Grade 12 National Senior Certificate Results

Posted by on in News

Congratulations to our class of 2021!  Following a difficult last two years of schooling disrupted by the pandemic, the class produced very strong results which include an 86% Bachelor’s pass rate and a 98,9% pass rate. Individual students also achieved exceptional results.

We are very proud of our full staff team of teachers, leaders and support staff who all contributed to ensuring that our school remained a safe, high-functioning and caring learning environment during the past two years.   It takes a village to raise a child; it takes a whole school to produce good results!
