Message from the Principal
Sport has the incredible ability to unite people from diverse backgrounds. At TuksSport High School, we are not just a school — we are a community where some of the country’s top young sportsmen and sportswomen come together to pursue their passion at the highest level, while receiving quality academic education.
In partnership with the High Performance Centre, our school focuses on the holistic development of each athlete. With the advancement in sports science over the years and the support of our professional team, we ensure that our athletes are exposed to the latest knowledge and techniques in order to reach their full potential.
Our academic staff are subject specialists dedicated to delivering top-quality education. The academic programme is specifically designed to accommodate the demanding schedules of high-performance athletes, ensuring they stay on track even when training or competition takes them out of the classroom.
At TuksSport High School, we are also deeply committed to developing our learner-athletes’ character and leadership skills — essential qualities for success not only in sport, but also in life after school.
Our learners are inspired by the achievements of former students such as Suzaan van Biljon, Clarence Munyai, Gift Leothela, Tatjana Smith, Benjamin Richardson, Bradley Nkoana, Michaela Whitebooi, Prudence Sekgodiso and Sinesipho Dambile — Olympic athletes who have shown that dreams can indeed become reality.
Founded in 2002 by Hettie de Villiers, TuksSport High School has grown into a high-performance environment where athletes from different walks of life come together as a supportive family, united by passion and purpose.
