onse Vaderland; sal ons jou

goeie naam voortaan, altyd beskou

as ons dierb're pand.

Mag ons skool voortbestaan,

BRIEWE VAN VERWELKOMING

Calla Reynolds Beheerliggaam

Wehan Fourie Skoolhoof

Geagte ouers

Namens Hoërskool Hopefield se

Beheerliggaam wil ek nie net die kinders

baie welkom heet nie, maar ook vir u as

ouers. By HSH wil ons die familiekultuur,

wat gesinne by die huis het, by die skool

versterk. Ons wens is dat julle tuis sal

voel, dat almal mekaar sal waardeer vir

wie hulle is en dat elkeen (leerders,

ouers en opvoeders) hierdie jaar saam

met mekaar sal groei.

It is within this family-like atmosphere

that strong relationships develop.

Relationships that last long after your

child has finished school. Not only

between the learners, but also among the

parents and educators.

Discipline and tradition are two of the

main pillars in our school. We do not

compromise on these values, as we

believe that it ensures a quality of

education to be proud of and a good set

of values required in the outside world.

’n Ander baie belangrike steunpilaar in

ons skool is die noue ondersteuning en

betrokkenheid van al die ouers. Dit is vir

ons baie belangrik dat beide ouers en

opvoeders sal saamwerk aan u kinders

se opvoeding – nie net die akademiese

sy nie, maar ook die sport, kultuur en

vele ander aktiwiteite wat die skool bied

om u kind gereed te maak vir sy/haar

toekoms. Indien u enige navrae het, is u

welkom om die skool te kontak. Ons wil

u ook spesiaal uitnooi om by HSH-OOV

betrokke te raak.

Die nuwe jaar met al sy doelwitte en

uitdagings lê voor. Gedurende 2020 het

Covid-19 aan die beheerligaam en die

skoolbestuur groot uitdagings gestel. Ons

is positief oor 2021 en vertrou dat dit vir

ons ons almal ‘n jaar vol positiewe

herinneringe sal wees.

Thank you for entrusting your child with

the school of choice in the West Coast.

May we all make new friends and feel at

home within the HSH family.

Vriendelike groete, Calla Reynolds

Dear Grade 8’s

Your first day of high school will be one

APPLICATION POLICY & PROCESS

Our admissions policy is complex and aimed at avoiding discrimination. Still, the learner's best interest is central to all aspects of our approach.

It stands to reason that since we are oversubscribed, a selection policy has to be applied. It places focus on variables (in order of importance) like the natural feeding area of the school, educational language, academic achievement and whether the learner will also attend the applicable hostel, and so on.

Please also note that certain restrictions are applicable to age versus grade and on the repetition of Grade 12.

Admission is subject to Parents' acceptance of the School Rules and policies such as the Drug Policy; and the learner's acceptance of the Code of Conduct.

Applications are occasionally allowed during a school year, should a suitable vacancy have transpired in a specific Grade or Class. Please give us a call to discuss your unique needs.

• Applications open for 2022 - 26 Feb '21

KOSHUISE

Download all the forms you need here...

HSH Girls Hostel: Huis Eureka Since 1939 when Huis Eureka was built, many girls have enjoyed access to the best value quality education available on the West Coast, no matter where they were from.

Today, Huis Eureka is home to HSH girl learners from all over the West Coast and beyond, from Grade 8-12. They share in the sense of family and disciplined structure, while still being able to express their individuality.

With spacious, squeaky-clean facilities, computer access, cool study hall, relaxation spaces, well-planned meals and several teachers living in the hostel to help with the support and guidance of these young ladies, you'll battle to find a better, more affordable base for your daughter.

The hostel is conveniently situated a block away from the school and the pool and within easy walking distance of the sports grounds.

Whatever your own hostel nightmares may have been; forget them!

This hostel presents a whole new standard in school housing.

HSH-Seunskoshuis: Huis Walters

Huis Walters se indrukwekkende geskiedenis begin in 1928. Ons hou trots rekening van die groot aantal kinders wat as gevolg van die koshuis toegang verkry het tot die beste skool aan die Weskus.

Vandag huisves Huis Walters Graad 1-12 HSH-seuns vanuit die hele Weskus en selfs verder weg. Dit is 'n veilige, gedissiplineerde en gestruktureerde omgewing en daar heers 'n gemoedelike gees wat ruimte laat vir speeltyd en die uitdrukking van individualiteit. Verskeie onderwysers bly in die koshuis.

Hierdie soliede ou gebou bied 'n uitsig oor Hopefield se fynbos en windplaas, wat 'n plaasgevoel skep. Die koshuistuine is mooi en die geriewe is ruim. Die koshuis is twee blokke vanaf die skool en swembad geleë; en binne stapafstand vanaf die sportgronde.

Die kombuis is silwerskoon en goed toegerus. Kundige kokke weet hoe om aan groeiende seuns se eetlus te voldoen met goed gebalanseerde maaltye.

Ouers sal nêrens 'n meer bekostigbare en gerieflike koshuisbasis vir hul seuns vind nie: 'n hawe weg van die huis af.

AKADEMIE & VAKKEUSES

HSH GESKIEDENIS

Onderwys in Hopefield het in Februarie 1855 begin toe ouers van hierdie Sandveld-dorpie besluit het dat die losloopdae van hulle kinders moet einde kry. Hulle het toe vir Meester J.H. Jansen aangestel om vir die Hopefielders “gelerendheid” te gee. Dit was die begin van ‘n trotse tradisie van kwaliteit onderwys en in sy voetspore het nog vele meesters gevolg. Die heer P. Roux het vir Meester Jansen opgevolg en in 1923 is nog ‘n belangrike baken in die geskiedenis van onderwys in Hopefield geplant toe die skool hoërskoolstatus gekry het. Mnr. A.W. Smit (1923-1945) was die eerste hoërskoolhoof en daarna het Hoërskool Hopefield gedy onder die leiding van hoofde soos:

(a) A.J. Sadie (1946 - 1947)

(b) A.W. Retief (1948 - 1950) (c) A.L. Botha (1951 - 1960) (d) N.W. du Bois (1960 - 1966) (e) J.H. Neethling (1967 - 1968) (f) J. Cawood (1968 - 1971) (g) C.A. Roux (1971 - 1985) (h) M. Hitge (1985 - 2009)

Tans is dit ‘n gekombineerde laer- en hoërskool van Graad R tot 12 onder leiding van mnr. Wehan Fourie. Hy word bygestaan deur die volgende geslag “meesters” en “meesteresse” wat hulle onderwystaak met passie uitleef en Hoërskool Hopefield tot nuwe hoogtes neem.

Tidbits:

Records show that in 1879, 202 of the parish's kids (extending to Vredenburg) attended school occasionally, while a further 421 kids never did.

The school was fully integrated at this time, and growing. The school spilled over into the grain store.

The Boys Hostel had its humble beginnings in a "poor hostel" created in 1928 to help make schooling accessible to under-privileged children. The hostel's name was later changed to "Voorreg" (Privilege) and again in 1950 to Huis Walters, as it is still known today.

The girls hostel, still known as Huis Eureka, was completed in 1939.
