Sans Souci Girls High School

"Reputable high schools are like vessels that

carry precious cargo through the stormy seas of life. Not only do they accommodate, they wisely steer those in their care through five immensely significant formative years. We at Sans Souci Girls High School deem it an honour and a privilege to guide, nurture and protect those in our care; from emerging adulthood to vibrant womanhood. Our cargo of young travellers are affirmed and encouraged in a secure and richly edifying educational environment. Sans Soucis motto Learn to be of Service is evidenced daily, in a multitude of ways."

Principal Charmaine Murray As Sans Souci is a smaller school for girls (presently 406 pupils), it prides itself on knowing each girl individually, thus making it possible to foster the kinds of relationships which are so necessary for optimal development during the high school phase. The Principal and School Governing Body believe in quality education and have consciously embarked on an active policy to ensure that this is achieved. Our girls enjoy the benefits of being taught in smaller classes, receiving the personal attention of highly skilled and dedicated teachers.

Sans Souci believes that dreams can be achieved and thus develops each girl holistically to achieve her potential and to become an accountable and responsible adult.
