Forti Nihil Difficilius
Nothing is too difficult for the brave.
The school’s aim is to create well-rounded, enquiring young women who will be able to think critically and engage constructively with others.
The focus of Jeppe High School for Girls is primarily on academics. The school endeavours to ensure that each pupil achieves her academic potential while engaging in a range of sporting, cultural and social activities.
Our staff is dedicated to teaching and to the school and with enthusiasm and loyalty, encourages independent thought and an appreciation of learning amongst the pupils.
