New headmaster of Unitas Secondary School

HTS Welkom proudly congratulates our Deputy Principal, Mr Johan Herbst, on his appointment as Headmaster of Unitas Secondary School in Welkom.

Mr Herbst has been part of the HTS family since 2012, where his journey in education began. During his time with us, he served with dedication as Head of Department before being appointed as Deputy Principal. His commitment, leadership, and passion for education have made a lasting impact on our school community.

We are incredibly proud of this remarkable achievement, especially at such a young age, and we have no doubt that he will lead Unitas with excellence, vision, and heart.

As Unitas is situated just across the road from HTS, we also look forward to the opportunities this creates for positive collaboration, shared growth, and strengthened relationships between our two schools in the years ahead.

We wish Mr Herbst every success in this exciting new chapter.

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.!!

Leadership: A little boy and his temper

There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy’s father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.

On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!

Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.

It wasn’t long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn’t lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn’t wait to tell his father.

Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.

Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

“You have done very well, my son,” he smiled, “but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.”

The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.

“When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, the wounds will still be there.”
