Christian Life and Spiritual Development
Christian Life and Spiritual Development
Presbyterian High School is a mission school founded on Christian principles by the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa. Faith is not an add-on to what happens here. It is the foundation the school was built on in 1969 and it remains central to the life of the school today.
The Chaplain's Office
There is a resident School Chaplain who oversees spiritual matters within the school and who also serves as the representative of the Responsible Authority.
The Chaplain is responsible for psychosocial support to learners, and the Chaplain's office operates an open-door policy for any learner requiring guidance and counselling.

An Interdenominational Approach
Despite being a Presbyterian Church school, Presbyterian High uses an interdenominational approach in order to accommodate learners from different church backgrounds, while maintaining the values and ethos of Presbyterianism.
Families of every Christian tradition are welcome at Presbyterian High School, and their children are respected and cared for here.
Scripture Union
The Chaplain's office runs a vibrant Scripture Union programme which supports the ministry and work of the Chaplain within the school.
This programme is a significant part of what makes Presbyterian High School one of the best schools in terms of high moral standards and discipline.
Guidance and Counselling
The Chaplain's office works in partnership with the Guidance and Counselling department and the school clinic to support learner wellbeing.
Areas covered include:
In a society facing a plethora of social ills, including the abuse of drugs and harmful substances, our chaplaincy works continuously at moulding character and positive attitude in our learners.
Adolescent health
Personal hygiene
Nutrition
Substance abuse prevention
Psychosocial support
Academic and career guidance
Leadership and Retreats
The Chaplain's office is responsible for organising retreats for prefect training, as well as spiritual camp meetings for the Scripture Union.
These retreats develop the learner leadership that the school depends on, grounded in the Christian values the school was founded upon.
