Hello, Jeppe Girls Community!Yesterday marked the exciting launch of our STEM Club , an 8-week journey into the world of innovation and technology.In the very first session, our girls took their first steps into coding by building their own simple websites using HTML. From writing their first lines of code to seeing “Hello, World!” come to life on the screen and then playing around with the code to see how they could improve it.

Run for a Cause: Every Step Makes a Difference

This year’s Run for a Cause is more than just a school event it’s a powerful opportunity to give with purpose. We’re proud to be supporting four phenomenal organizations whose work touches lives every day: Door of Hope, The Edenvale SPCA, The Pink Drive and GBV.

Their excitement to be part of the day is contagious, and our learners will have the chance to contribute in meaningful, hands-on ways by donating essential items, supporting their stalls, and engaging with their stories.

We’ve also created GivenGain pages for both Door of Hope and The Pink Drive, making it easier than ever for our wider community to give directly and transparently. Whether it’s a week’s worth of tuckshop money from a student, or a generous family donation every rand counts.

Let’s show these organisations the strength and heart of our Jeppe community. Let’s run, give, and change lives together.

Celebrating 106 Years of Jeppe Girls On this day,

Celebrating 106 Years of Jeppe Girls

On this day, 21 July 2025, Jeppe High School for Girls marks 106 years of excellence in educating and empowering fearless, forward-thinking young women.

Since opening in 1919, we’ve stayed committed to strong values, academic rigour, and a vibrant, inclusive community.

Academics
With a 100% Matric pass rate for over 20 years and status as a pilot IEB school, Jeppe Girls continues to feed top universities across the country.

Sport
From hockey and netball to cricket and swimming, our girls compete at the highest levels. This year, we partnered with Jeppe Boys and Parktown schools for a powerful GBV awareness sports event.

Culture & Spirit
Our 2025 production of Matilda showcased talent across the grades. We’re also proud recipients of the 5FM Spirit Award, recognising our unique school spirit.

Campus Life & Infrastructure
Somerset House, our new boarding facility, offers a safe and nurturing space. A pedestrian bridge now links campus and fields, and development continues on our PAC & Wellness Centre, STEM Hub, solar power, and transport systems—supporting a modern, holistic school experience.

Service & Social Impact
Each week, our sandwich drive feeds hundreds of children in nearby communities. Our girls also knit blankets and squares for those in need—living our values of compassion and service.

Sisterhood & Community
At the heart of Jeppe is our incredible sisterhood—resilient, kind, and driven. Backed by a passionate Old Girls community who mentor, uplift, and give back, this sisterhood lasts a lifetime.

Gratitude
To our dedicated teachers, support staff, cleaners and grounds team—thank you for your tireless work in keeping Jeppe exceptional.

From rich traditions like our 1929 borehole-fed pool and annual Flower Show to the bright vision of the future—Jeppe Girls continues to blaze trails and build leaders.

Forti Nihil Difficilius – Nothing is too difficult for the brave.
Happy 106th Birthday, Jeppe Girls.
Keep shining. Keep rising. Keep leading.

Today, we pay tribute to an icon and champion of change, Nelson Mandela. Affectionately known as Tata Madiba, he was a visionary leader who ignited transformation and championed the power of education. His words continue to resonate with generations: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” At our school, we celebrate extraordinary individuals like Madiba who have shaped our world and inspired us to make a difference. His legacy continues to guide us, inspiring our commitment to ensure that our girls are equipped to be the leaders of tomorrow.

On 27 June, we gathered to celebrate and honour Mr Rob Aitchison , a man whose dedication, vision, and passion have left an enduring mark on our school community.

Mr Aitchison has played a key role in numerous transformative projects at Jeppe, including the development of the Media/STEM Centre, the opening of Somerset House (our boarding facility), the installation of solar panels, and many other initiatives that have advanced the school’s infrastructure and innovation. He has been a driving force behind these achievements, always championing progress with unwavering commitment.

Having first joined the Jeppe family as a parent, Mr Aitchison became an active member of the Parents’ Association (PA), contributing meaningfully to school events such as the Matric Dance, MA Dance, and other community-building activities. The PA is now led by his sister, Mrs Michelle Smith, who continues the family’s legacy of service.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, Mr Aitchison was honoured with a commemorative bench and plaque engraved with the name "Aitchison" , a lasting tribute to a name that has become synonymous with dedication and generosity at Jeppe.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr Aitchison and the Aitchison family for their years of support, love, and unwavering commitment. Their impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.

On 26 June, we proudly marked a milestone in our school’s journey with the official opening of our Media/STEM Centre , a space thoughtfully designed to ignite innovation, and drive technology-focused learning.

Equipped with cutting-edge resources and offering dynamic programmes such as coding and robotics, the centre signals the beginning of the Jeppe digital era. It stands as a testament to our commitment to preparing learners for the demands of a rapidly evolving world.

Led by Mrs Van der Merwe, our dedicated IT teacher, and her capable team, the centre will serve as a vibrant hub of digital exploration and discovery. From the start of Term 3, learners will gain full access to this pioneering facility, where they will be empowered to explore, design, code, and create.

More than just a facility, this centre represents a vision, one that champions inclusion, nurtures innovation, and inspires a future where young women take their place in the world of STEM and technology.
