GHS is looking for learners with integrity, who are hardworking, committed, and interested in holistic development.

• 1200 learners
• 240 accepted for Grade 8 annually 
• Class size on average is under 30 learners

School fees are paid over 10 months, and boarding fees are paid termly. Current fees can be found on this page.

We have 70 educators, together with Administrative and Estates teams, Boarder Superintendent, Housemothers and Boarder Mistresses, and two full-time Nursing Sisters.

Start: Monday to Friday – 07:45

End: Monday to Thursday – 14:15, Friday – 13:20

We offer a homely environment, but follow strict rules and regulations for all our girls.  All meals are provided in the BE. 

• Grade 8s have 4 shared dorms. 
• Grade 9s have interleading dorms. 
• Grade 10s and 11s have double rooms. 
• Grade 12s have a Matric Wing with single rooms.

Each Grade 8 is allocated one Grade 12 mentor who will support and help her adjust to boarding life.

Rather than initiation, we have positive orientation into the GHS environment. Activities are designed to break the ice, and never to humiliate any learner.

Grade 8s have set prep times in designated rooms. As they move up in grades, they are given more independence. Grade 8s have limited access to cellphones to focus on academics.

The school has 24-hour guards. No boarder is allowed to leave the BE without parental consent and a security exeat from a Housemother or Boarder Mistress.
