#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)
28 October – A Day of Honour, Dignity and Remembrance
Today, the SAHETI family came together to commemorate “OXI” Day, honouring the courage of the Greek people who, on 28 October 1940, stood firm in defence of their freedom, dignity and national honour.
Through traditional Greek dances, classical Greek dances, dramatizations, poems, songs and the sounds of the bouzouki, our pupils brought the spirit of this historic day to life, paying tribute to those who fought, suffered and sacrificed so that future generations could live in freedom.
At SAHETI, the preservation and promotion of Hellenic language, history and culture are at the heart of who we are. “OXI” Day is not simply a historical anniversary; it is an enduring reminder that freedom must never be taken for granted and that courage, dignity and the willingness to stand up for what is right remain timeless values.
28 Οκτωβρίου – Μια Ημέρα Τιμής, Αξιοπρέπειας και Μνήμης
Σήμερα, η οικογένεια του ΣΑΧΕΤΙ συγκεντρώθηκε για να τιμήσει την επέτειο του «ΟΧΙ», αποτίοντας φόρο τιμής στο θάρρος του ελληνικού λαού, ο οποίος στις 28 Οκτωβρίου 1940 στάθηκε ακλόνητος στην υπεράσπιση της ελευθερίας, της αξιοπρέπειας και της εθνικής του τιμής.
Μέσα από παραδοσιακούς ελληνικούς χορούς, κλασικούς ελληνικούς χορούς, θεατρικά δρώμενα, ποιήματα, τραγούδια και τους ήχους του μπουζουκιού, οι μαθητές μας ζωντάνεψαν το πνεύμα αυτής της ιστορικής ημέρας, τιμώντας τις θυσίες όσων αγωνίστηκαν, υπέφεραν και θυσιάστηκαν, ώστε οι επόμενες γενιές να μπορούν να ζουν ελεύθερες.
Στη Σχολή ΣΑΧΕΤΙ, η διατήρηση και η προώθηση της ελληνικής γλώσσας, της ιστορίας και του πολιτισμού βρίσκονται στον πυρήνα της ταυτότητάς μας. Η επέτειος του «ΟΧΙ» δεν αποτελεί απλώς μια ιστορική επέτειο· αποτελεί μια διαχρονική υπενθύμιση ότι η ελευθερία δεν είναι ποτέ δεδομένη και ότι το θάρρος, η αξιοπρέπεια και η δύναμη να υπερασπιζόμαστε το δίκαιο παραμένουν αξίες διαχρονικές.
Χρόνια Πολλά, Ελλάδα!

SAHETI Hosts Inaugural Intra-School Public Speaking Competition
SAHETI School proudly hosted its inaugural Intra-School Public Speaking Competition on 8 October, marking an exciting milestone in the development of public speaking at the school.
The evening saw 29 SAHETI speakers take to the stage to showcase their talent, confidence and dedication. The standard was exceptionally high, with adjudicator Mrs Oriella van der Walt remarking on how difficult it was to judge the competition due to the consistently high standard of the speakers.
Thank you to our Master of Ceremonies, Gabriel Protopapas, for guiding the evening and ensuring the smooth running of the event.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to our public speaking coach, Mrs Angelique Couloubis, for her dedication to developing each pupil’s potential, and to Mr Dominic Lund for his valuable support and contribution to the programme.
Congratulations to all 29 speakers, whose performances celebrated courage, critical thinking, self-expression and the power of the spoken word. You made us immensely proud!
This inaugural competition marks the beginning of what we hope will become a valued SAHETI tradition, providing pupils with opportunities to build confidence, discover their potential and develop skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

CONNECTING SCHOOLS. SHARING CHALLENGES. FINDING SOLUTIONS.
SAHETI Pre-Primary School and Playschool initiated and organised an Aftercare Networking Morning, bringing together colleagues from ISASA schools across Johannesburg and Pretoria to share experiences, discuss common challenges and explore practical solutions.
It was a wonderful morning of open discussion, collaboration and learning. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed so generously, sharing their experiences, ideas and insights. The positive feedback highlighted the value of creating opportunities for schools to connect, learn from one another and work together to strengthen Aftercare programmes.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this initiative such a success!

To our Matric Class of 2026
Your epic journey to your Final IEB Exams begins tomorrow. Your vessel puffs its sails in gleeful anticipation. As you sit in the examination room, follow knowledge like a sinking star beyond the utmost bound of human thought. It will become the bringer of new things. May you conquer the Cyclops of self-doubt and Laestrygonian fear. Make your journey heroic, because it is yours. Make it meaningful, because you shape it. Make it the best version of yourself because you deserve it. So push off and smite the sounding furrows with philotimo. Rise to the victorious challenge remembering that you are part of all that you have met here, at SAHETI School. You are one equal temper of heroic hearts made strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.
Good luck make your story heroic! Go make yourselves proud as you have already made us proud!
From: Dr Daniela Pitt - Dean of Matrics
