Leadership development

We are proud to announce that Bokamoso Plank, a Grade 10 learner at HTS Welkom, represented our school at the Golekane Boys’ Mentorship Camp, held from 05-07 December 2025 in KwaZulu-Natal.

The camp, organised by the Department of Basic Education in collaboration with the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture, focuses on empowering young male learners through structured mentorship, leadership development, life skills, and positive masculinity.

Bokamoso demonstrated excellent leadership potential and served as a great ambassador for our school. We are confident that he will share the valuable lessons he learned with his peers.

Well done, Bokamoso!

We are proud of you.!!

* Why don’t scientists trust atoms? 

Because they make up everything.

* Why did the math teacher break up with the calculator? 

Because they couldn’t count on it!

* Why did the math book look sad? 

Because it had too many problems.

Teacher: I agree, but that's the lowest mark I could give you!

*Does it count as differentiated instruction if I print their worksheets in different colors?

Farewell Mrs Estia Greeff!

Your story is woven into the very fabric of our school.
From the age of seven, with your parents working here, HTS Welkom became your second home.
After school, you continued the legacy by taking over your mother’s role in the bookstore—serving with the same dedication, precision, and love.
For more than 50 years, you have blessed this school with your expertise and attention to detail.
You leave behind a legacy we will always honor.
May your retirement be filled with joy, rest, and new adventures.

Happy Holidays

We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season, filled with relaxation and joy. May this season bring warmth, joy, and love to your hearts and homes. Let us cherish the moments spent with family and friends, reflect on the blessings we’ve received, and spread kindness wherever we go.

Wishing you a happy and restful holiday!

* Teacher: "Why have you got cotton wool in your ears, do you have an infection?"

Pupil: "Well you keep saying that things go in one ear and out the other so I am trying to keep them it all in!"

* Kid comes home from 1st day at school. 

Mum asks: "What did you learn today?"

Kid replies: "Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow."
