Class of 2025

In an uncertain and unstable period in history, you walked through the gates of Hoërskool Ben Viljoen in 2021 as confused grade 8s - armoured with a mask, a bottle of disinfectant and a heart full of questions. You entered a world that seemed different from the one you were prepared for: hallways were quieter, smiles were hidden, and distance was part of the new normal. But you walked nonetheless - brave, curious and willing to adapt. That first step already showed what kind of matriculants you would be one day.

Laerskool Marble Hall hosted an exciting relay swimming gala on Thursday, 30 October 2025, featuring schools and businesses from the area. The day was full of enthusiasm, teamwork and sportsmanship, with participants giving their best to make their teams proud.

A big congratulations to all our staff members who participated and proudly represented our school. Your effort and enthusiasm inspire our learners.
