#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.


“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)

Shaping Tomorrow's Leaders: SAHETI Student Elected to the Greek Youth Parliament
Congratulations to our student, Gabriel Protopapas, who was elected as a Youth Member of the Hellenic Parliament and participated in this year's programme, where discussions focused on "AI in Education."
The Greek Youth Parliament Educational Programme is an initiative of the Hellenic Parliament that engages secondary school students in research, teamwork, and democratic dialogue on contemporary issues, culminating in a simulation of parliamentary procedures.
Reflecting on his experience, Gabriel shared:
"Being elected as a Youth Member of the Hellenic Parliament was an unforgettable honour. Debating the future of AI in education and exchanging ideas with students from across Greece strengthened my appreciation for democracy, dialogue, and responsible leadership."
We congratulate him on this remarkable achievement and wish him every success in his future endeavours!
Διαμορφώνοντας τους Ηγέτες του Αύριο: Μαθητής της Σχολής ΣΑΧΕΤΙ εξελέγη Έφηβος Βουλευτής στην Βουλή των Ελλήνων
Θερμά συγχαρητήρια στον μαθητή μας, Γαβριήλ Πρωτόπαπα, ο οποίος εξελέγη Έφηβος Βουλευτής στη Βουλή των Ελλήνων και συμμετείχε στο εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραμμα της Βουλής των Εφήβων, μια πρωτοβουλία της Ελληνικής Βουλής που προάγει τη δημοκρατική συμμετοχή, τον διάλογο και την κριτική σκέψη των νέων.
Το φετινό θέμα ήταν «Η Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη στην Εκπαίδευση», δίνοντας στους μαθητές την ευκαιρία να προβληματιστούν και να προτείνουν ιδέες για το μέλλον της εκπαίδευσης.
Αποτιμώντας τη συμμετοχή του στο πρόγραμμα, ο Γαβριήλ σημείωσε:
«Η εκλογή μου ως Έφηβου Βουλευτή ήταν μια μοναδική εμπειρία και μεγάλη τιμή. Η συμμετοχή στις συζητήσεις για το μέλλον της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης στην εκπαίδευση και η ανταλλαγή απόψεων με μαθητές από όλη την Ελλάδα ενίσχυσαν την πίστη μου στη σημασία της δημοκρατίας, του διαλόγου και της υπεύθυνης συμμετοχής στα κοινά.»
Συγχαρητήρια για αυτή τη σημαντική διάκριση! ... See MoreSee Less

An Evening with a Springbok Rugby Legend!
Students, parents, staff and rugby enthusiasts were captivated as John Smit, the legendary captain who led South Africa to Rugby World Cup glory in 2007, shared stories from his remarkable career.
Beyond the rugby field, he gave us a glimpse into his school days, speaking about his time on the tennis courts and singing in the choir, reminding us that every great journey starts somewhere.
One of the highlights of the evening was the opportunity for our students to ask questions. In true SAHETI spirit, some of the most insightful and thought-provoking questions came from the youngest members of the audience! Questions such as "When should one focus seriously on sport?" and "Were you scared to face the Haka?" sparked honest and inspiring answers.
Thank you, John, for your humility, wisdom, and encouragement. A special thank you also to Dan, for making this special evening possible. Our students left inspired not only by the achievements of a rugby great but by the values of resilience, hard work, and passion that define true leadership.

Honouring Madiba’s Legacy 💙
Our Playschool and Pre-Primary School children proudly built a blanket pyramid with 203 donated blankets, along with countless beanies and socks, before helping load the donations for delivery.
As part of their 67 Minutes of Giving, our Primary School embraced the spirit of generosity through meaningful acts of kindness. Pupils enthusiastically packed food hampers, creating an atmosphere of excitement and purpose as they worked together, knowing that each hamper would help provide comfort and nourishment to a family in need.
Our High School continues its Mandela Day Food Drive in support of @themerchantsoflight . The collection remains open until 30 July, and we encourage you to continue donating non-perishable food and essential grocery items.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed. Together, we are proving that compassion and service can make a lasting difference.
