Linkside High
At Linkside High School, we understand that transitioning to high school can feel overwhelming, especially for students coming from smaller primary schools. That’s why we pride ourselves on being a school that is small enough to care but big enough to be relevant and competitive. We prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring that each learner receives the attention, support, and opportunities needed to thrive.
We operate as a close-knit family, fostering a home away from home environment where students feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about nurturing individual talents and inspiring learners to excel academically, athletically, and culturally. Our school motto, Ad Astra (“Reach for the stars”), reflects our belief that every child has the potential to achieve greatness.
Beyond the classroom, we emphasize responsible citizenship, leadership, and community engagement. Linkside High has proudly produced exceptional individuals who have made an impact both locally and beyond. Our learners have been recognized as Miss Port Elizabeth titleholders, contributing to charitable causes, while our student leaders have served as Junior City Council Mayors, playing an active role in shaping their communities.
The Linkside experience is about more than just academics—it’s about personal growth, meaningful friendships, and lasting memories. We prepare our learners to become successful, confident, and compassionate individuals, ready to lead and make a difference in the world. At Linkside High School, we are committed to shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
