Dear Grade 8 learner and 8 parents At the end of 2017, every parent and/or guardian has a choice to make: In which school do I enroll my child? The informed choice: Lydenburg High School! Lydenburg High School is an excellent high school with the motto, PADLANGS! Lydenburg High School is a school with tradition, a school with pride and a school with a teacher corps that builds learners’ self-esteem and confidence which ensures that every learner grows to become a balanced, young adult in society.

To ensure that both you and your child know what is expected of you, an information evening will be held on 16 January 2018 at 17:30 at Hoërskool Lydenburg’s hall. Important information as well as the register classes for 2018 will be given to you. Any further queries or problems will be dealt with on this evening. We would like your child to become part of our Lydens family as soon as possible. Therefore we offer the whole group a mandatory camp where they will participate in sports, team building activities and a formal programme that will be followed by discussions to introduce them to the high school life. Date: Friday, January 19, 2018 - Saturday, January 20, 2018 Arrival: 14:00 on A-hockey field End: 8:30 behind the tuck shop gate Cost: R70-00 (for Friday night's dinner and your name tag.) NO cell phones or other electronic devices are allowed. If found, the devices will be confiscated. No skirts or "spaghetti strap" tops will be allowed. Learners need old clothes that can be discarded at the end of the camp.

At Lydenburg High School we believe:

that your child’s welfare is our priority.

in supporting your child academically so that he/she can achieve his/her full academic potential.

creating a safe, caring and respectful learning environment for your child.

that your child deserves to excel in the cultural and sport fields and we therefore provide coaching of a high standard.

That good values are necessary for the sustainability of our community and the generation to come.
