Discipline, scholarship, leadership
Grade 8 to Grade 12 · Established 1991
Welcome to Tembalethu Secondary School
A secondary school building disciplined scholars, sportsmen and leaders from Grade 8 to Grade 12.
Tembalethu Secondary School prepares young people for the National Senior Certificate and for life beyond it. Academic rigour, sport, culture and leadership are treated as one programme, not as competing interests.
“Our matric results matter, but they are the outcome of something larger: learners who arrive on time, who prepare, and who carry themselves well. We ask families to hold us to that standard and to hold their children to it too.”
