The school’s aim is to create well-rounded, enquiring young women who will be able to think critically and engage constructively with others.

Although World Environment Day was observed yester

Although World Environment Day was observed yesterday, 5 June 2025, under the global theme "Beat Plastic Pollution," the need for action continues every day.

Organisations like WESSA, Greenpeace, and UNEP have emphasised the urgent issue of plastic waste and its harmful effects on our environment, ecosystems, and health.

At Jeppe High School for Girls, a proud Eco-School (Platinum 2, Year 7), we remain committed to environmental responsibility beyond just one day.

Through initiatives like our #NoBalloons Policy, Plastic Bottle Tops and Bread Tag Collections, Eco-Bricks, and our ongoing #AntiLitterCampaign, we encourage the entire Jeppe Community to reduce waste, especially plastic, and adopt sustainable waste management practices. Let’s continue to work together to protect the planet and ensure a healthier, cleaner future for generations to come.

To our very own lovely Fair Lady — Carolyn Steyn

To our very own lovely Fair Lady — Carolyn Steyn,

On your special day, we celebrate the kindest, truest heart — a woman whose love for Jeppe Girls High School runs deep, and whose unwavering belief in the power of educating girls changes lives.

You are not only a Jeppe Old Girl we are proud of, but a champion for every girl who walks through our gates. From concert halls to theatre stages, from warm blankets to well-resourced classrooms — your generosity touches every corner of our school life. You give our girls experiences that open minds, builds confidence and sparks joy.

Thank you for the JPO concert tickets, the theatre outings, the wool for 67 Blankets, the support of our infrastructure, and — most importantly — for your constant presence and care. Your regular visits and check-ins remind us that we are part of something bigger, a sisterhood rooted in love, support, and legacy.

Carolyn, we salute you. We love you. We honour you.
We are forever grateful.

Happy, happy birthday — from all of us at Jeppe Girls.

On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of hosting our French Exchange learners from @oyorugbyclasse.

Despite a short visit, they were thoroughly immersed in the Jeppe Spirit! Our girls electrified the hall with their war cries, while our drama students showcased their talents with a sneak peek of Matilda the Musical.

Fallyn Lawrence added to the magic with beautiful saxophone melodies. The visitors also enjoyed attending various classes, from Geography to Mathematics.

We're grateful for the opportunity to welcome these special guests and share our Jeppe community with them.

Yesterday's assembly was a heartwarming reminder of the kindness that still exists in the world.

We were privileged to host Door of Hope, a remarkable organization that has been making a difference for 25 years. Currently caring for 62 precious children and babies, Door of Hope provides a safe haven for those who've been abandoned or rejected by their birth parents.

Our girls, along with our French exchange students from @oyorugbyclasse , showed incredible compassion by donating blankets, beanies, baby cardigans, and warm winter clothes for the little ones. It's wonderful to see @doorofhopesa 's dedication to spreading kindness and giving back to the community.

On the 25th - 27th April, Ms Trumble and Ms Keegan

On the 25th - 27th April, Ms Trumble and Ms Keegan took 19 art & design girls from G11 and G12 to Zwartkloof Adventure Camp for an intensive art skills development camp.

They learnt about a new charcoal tonal technique with Ms Keegan and got to make clay animal heads with Ms Trumble. One of the highlights was that the programme director arranged for us to have 2 hours to sketch the predators in their separate park. It was a first for the camp and for the students getting to sketch a living, moving animal like the tigers, leopards, lions, wolves, African dogs and hyenas.

There was also fun activities like the bum slides, stargazing, campfire songs and a mud warrior course intermingled throughout the weekend. We also celebrated the Matrics' collective 18th birthdays with a lovely cake made specially for our group.

South Coast Highland Gathering The Jeppe Pipe B

South Coast Highland Gathering
The Jeppe Pipe Band traveled to Amanzimtoti for the Annual South Coast Highland Gathering from 1 May to 4 May.

On Thursday and Friday, the learners practiced their competition and solo sets. They also enjoyed some time at the beach, the heated pools, and fun team building games. The gathering on 3 May is one of the community highlights. The Amanzimtoti Sports grounds were filled with activity, spectators, and the wonderful sounds of the Pipe Bands. Over 25 bands from around the country attended the competition.

The Jeppe Band placed 4th overall in Novice Juvenile Band section.

On the Sunday before returning to Johannesburg, the learners all competed in the solo competition. Jessica Powell placed 2nd in Novice Snare MSR, Kaitlyn Merrifield placed 4th in Tenor MSR and Tatum Robertson placed 4th in Novice B March. This was Tatum’s first competition, so an extra big well done to her.

A message from our headmistress, On this Freedom

A message from our headmistress,

On this Freedom Day, we honour the courage and resilience of those who paved the way for our democracy.

Thirty-one years ago, South African of all races cast their votes for the first time, embracing a future of equality and hope. As we reflect on our journey, let us remember that freedom is not only a gift but a responsibility.

May we continue to uphold the values of justice, unity and compassion in our school and beyond. Together, let’s inspire the next generation to cherish and protect the freedoms we hold dear.
