Stellenberg High School
Stellenberg High School is a public, dual-medium (Afrikaans and English), co-educational high school located in Stellenberg, Bellville in the Western Cape province of South Africa.[citation needed] The high school was established in 1986.[citation needed]
In 1986, Stellenryk High School opened its doors to 316 students and 16 faculty members. Several letters were received from parents, requesting that the school's name be changed to either Stellenberg High School or Eversdal High School. The first school day started with an assembly in the Stellenberg Dutch Reformed Church, as the school building was only partially completed at the time. Weekly assemblies later took place in a quad, until the building was completed.[citation needed]
The first principal, Siebert Neethling, served from 1986 until 1996.
On 23 November 1987, Stellenberg High School was officially opened by State President P.W. Botha.
The school song was written by a number of faculty members, including Johan Pretorius, who died in 2021, and was sung for the first time during an assembly on 5 November 1989. The school's motto, Vivat Scientia, freely translated, means "Let knowledge live".
The school badge depicts two motifs in silver against a background of jade and maroon. The primary motif is a curule seat, symbolizing the acquisition and transference of knowledge. The second motif, of a battlement, can be historically related to the origin of the farm, Stellenburg, as it was registered in 1705. This farm is the suburb Stellenberg today.
Principal Theo Boonzaaier was appointed in 1996 and retired in 2020. The current principal is Yolandé Havinga.[citation needed]
The student body is represented by democratically elected student leaders, and is known as the Student Representative Council (SRC). It consists of 40 members elected from grades 9 to 12.
