COURAGE – ΘΑΡΡΟΣ
#ProudToBeSAHETI
SAHETI School was established in 1974 by a group of founders under the leadership of Advocate George Bizos. Its doors were open to all, welcoming widely diverse communities to share in its values-driven, universal education.
The campus has evolved as part of a unique design, which has attracted much attention and even professional recognition in the form of awards from the Institute of South African Architects. From the outset, SAHETI’s approach to education was dynamic and innovative. The school has become known for its enlightened teaching methods, consistent academic excellence and rich cultural life.
The expansive grounds have allowed for development of enviable sports facilities, to cater for a wide variety of activities. Today this vibrant school ranks amongst the top independent schools in South Africa. Its enrolment of about 1300 boys and girls is spread over a Playschool, Pre-Primary School, Primary School and High School.
SAHETI is situated in Senderwood, Bedfordview, on the eastern outskirts of Johannesburg.
Teenagers worldwide united for the future of sport values
A new innovative educational program that uses sport as a universal language to promote values, teamwork, and global citizenship.
A program that unites schools from diverse continents on an educational and cultural journey that promotes FairPlay as a way of life, through sport, creativity, and reflection.
Promotes excellence, innovation and FairPlay in education using the universal language of sport.
“The school motto, ‘Know Thyself’ dates back to ancient Greece and was expounded upon by the likes of Socrates. For me it speaks to the need for self-reflection, through which we will begin to understand our need for God and our dependence on each other. I believe that a good understanding of self will also spur us on as individuals towards training our bodies, mind and character so that we may maximise our God given potential and fulfil the calling upon our lives.”
– Mr Warwick Taylor (Former Executive Headmaster 2014-2022)
Remembering Mrs Di Williamson
It is with profound sadness that SAHETI School shares the news of the unexpected passing of Mrs Di Williamson, a much-loved teacher, swimming coach and colleague who was an integral part of the SAHETI community for more than 20 years.
Di began her association with SAHETI School as a Life Sciences teacher and Senior Swimming Coach. Following her retirement from teaching, she remained part of the school community as a part-time swimming and lifesaving coach, guiding swimmers of all ages and abilities and helping generations of young people develop confidence, resilience and determination.
Beyond SAHETI, Di was highly respected in Gauteng aquatics and the open-water swimming community. Among her many achievements, she coached British Olympic open-water silver medallist and World Champion Keri-Anne Payne during her early swimming years in Johannesburg. She also prepared generations of swimmers for endurance events such as the Midmar Mile and was involved in the organisation of open-water events, including the Platinum Mile.
Di will be remembered for her remarkable energy, knowledge and unwavering commitment to the young people in her care. Her contribution to SAHETI and to swimming has left a lasting legacy.
SAHETI extends its deepest condolences to her husband, Nick, her children, Dael, Chev and Donna, her grandchildren, and all her family and friends.
Her loss will be deeply felt by the many students, swimmers, families and colleagues whose lives she touched.

Di was such a special part of my early years at SAHETI. She taught me so much about teaching in her own unique way, and I’ll always remember our “no classroom” days when we took the Life Sciences students outside to do experiments. She will be greatly missed. 🙏

Ahead of Heritage Day, our High School paused for reflection as @lindiwehani spoke to our students about our heritage and the importance of what we do with it.
Then, in true SAHETI spirit, our school came alive with music, dancing, laughter and pride as students celebrated our many cultures, languages and traditions — from our Grade R children singing and dancing to "Lyfie", to energetic marimbas, beautiful isiZulu singing, Afrikaans poetry, students sharing their cultural life, and unmistakable Greek music. Our Heritage Attire Fashion Show let students proudly showcase their heritage, customs and traditions.
A huge highlight was a performance by Niko Thomaides and Pano Couloubis, who had students and staff joining in, creating a warm, vibrant, festive atmosphere. And, as always, our Greek heritage was proudly woven throughout.
Being proud of who we are, celebrating where we come from, and embracing each other — this is what makes the SAHETI family.
Know Thyself!
