Bellville Technical High School Open Day
SCHOOL RULES
As an educational institution we take considerable pride in our school and in the conduct of our learners. Good discipline, proper focus on academic work and the right values in life are what we regard as the number one priority. We know that most parents agree on this. It is our goal to achieve the best for every child and to ensure that he / she attains his / her full potential. In this regard we desire to develop every child holistically and provide an environment in which he / she feels respected, comfortable and secure.
Discipline is a major personality trait of all great achievers, who have rigorous planning of short-term goals and long-term goals and lead a disciplined lifestyle. A disciplined person is always respected and revered by all and sundry. It is discipline only which makes one regular and punctual.
Bellville Technical High School encourages the optimal psychological, emotional, social and intellectual development of learners and their families in our community. We strive to help individuals achieve their potential by assisting them to overcome personal, emotional, psychological, behavioural, academic, family and relationship difficulties.
The Educational Psychologist and the Counselors provide confidential and individual counselling and brief therapy to learners and staff where necessary.
