Trichardt Christian School (Secunda)

Trichardt Christian School in Secunda, where the Lord is watching over all 113 of you, which is honestly not that many people. That is less than the queue at a Home Affairs on a Monday morning. You are a private Christian school with 113 learners and you are calling yourself a school? Bru, that is a large family reunion with a tuck shop. Nine educators for 113 kids, that ratio is actually decent, 12.6 to 1, which means every teacher genuinely knows your name, your business, your sins, and exactly what you got up to over the weekend. There is nowhere to hide in this school. You cannot even pretend you were sick because the teacher probably drove past your house. This is Secunda, everyone knows everyone, the whole town has that energy. And speaking of Secunda, you are sitting in Mpumalanga, right next to Sasol, where the air has a little extra personality and the sky is a colour that does not appear in nature. Your school has a Christian ethos but the whole town smells like a chemistry practical that went wrong. God is good, but the wind direction is not always. Overall verdict: Trichardt Christian School is basically a very devout family WhatsApp group that somehow got accredited by the Department of Education, but with a teacher ratio that Bishops would actually envy.
