Word from our Principal
Since 1883, Greytown High School has had a long, proud history. Today we continue that tradition by providing a top class, holistic education.
Mr C R Dutton, Principal
A school with strong values and heritage
Greytown High School is a co educational school with around 550 learners, yet it remains at the cutting edge of education. We are mindful of an ethos, a set of values, and a heritage built up over more than a century. Greytown High offers a rounded and balanced environment, with a legacy of leadership and high moral standards.
Growing young people into confident adults
Over the years, this wonderful environment has allowed young boys and girls to develop into ladies and gentlemen. Learners leave with education, confidence, morals, discipline, passion, and courage. These are the qualities that help them shape our nationโs progress.
Old Scholars in all spheres of society
Year after year, Greytown High produces young men and women who go out with a top matric. Our Old Scholars are found in all spheres of society. Not every learner becomes a public leader, but Greytown High equips each one with the skills, drive, and conviction to compete with the best. Not only in South Africa, but worldwide.
The road in. The gates. The question
As you drive into Greytown on the Mooi River and Muden road, you are greeted by Greytown High School and the tree topped hills beyond. When you enter the gates, you get a sense that many great people have passed through here. What sort of person do you want to be. Will you tread in someoneโs footsteps, or will you create a new path.
"Fortiter et Tenaciter" Bravely & persevering.
Wherever the path takes you, Greytown High School will be there to educate, mentor, and enable you to accomplish your ambition, in the spirit of the schoolโs motto.
FORTITER ET TENACITER. Bravely and persevering.
