Term 3 2025 Begins: Building Dreams, One Learner at a Time

-



As the winter chill begins to ease, we find ourselves stepping confidently into Term 3 – the final stretch before exams and the exciting wrap-up of yet another milestone year at Aspeling High School.

It’s hard to believe we’re already approaching the end of 2025. In just three years, Aspeling has grown from a dream into a thriving community where learners, staff, and families come together to shape a new kind of education – one that’s grounded in heart, innovation, and inclusion.

Celebrating 3 Years of Aspeling

This term, we’re marking our 3rd birthday in true Aspeling style – with our very own Food Truck Expo! But it’s more than just great food. It’s a celebration of young minds in action.

Our learners will be stepping up as young entrepreneurs, hosting their first business stalls, selling their ideas, and engaging with the community. These moments of hands-on experience are the real classroom – where confidence is built, ideas are tested, and futures begin.

A New Home in Progress

Another exciting development is our temporary classrooms being set up on our new school grounds in Zeekoevlei. While we await final approval of our building plans, this move brings us one step closer to the permanent home we’re dreaming of.

Construction is set to begin after winter, and every brick will be a symbol of the resilience, faith, and teamwork that got us here.

A New Look, A New Chapter

Our learners now proudly wear their school uniforms – a shift from our earlier no-uniform policy. It’s more than just clothing; it’s a reflection of our growth and unity. Seeing our students walk through the gates in uniform is a daily reminder that something truly special is happening here.

2026 Enrolment Filling Fast

The response to our vision has been overwhelming. Our Grade 7 and 8 classes for 2026 are almost full, and it’s a testament to the trust our families place in us, and the solid foundation we’ve built in such a short time.

We’re Not Just a School. We’re a Movement.

Aspeling High is proving that big dreams don’t need big pockets – just big hearts. With no external investors, we’ve built everything through our own efforts, passion, and community spirit.

In just three years, we’re doing more than some schools have done in decades – and we’re just getting started.

As Term 3 unfolds, we move forward with joy, determination, and the deep belief that every learner has a purpose – and that purpose deserves the space to grow.

Here’s to building the future, together.

Aspeling High School: A New Era of Education Begins in Zeekoevlei For far too long, parents in communities like Zeekoevlei, Grassy Park, and the surrounding areas have had to look beyond their neighborhoods to find quality education for their children. That is about to change. Aspeling High School is proud to announce the development of the first private high school of its kind in the area —a beacon of hope, progress, and educational excellence for our community. From Humble Beginnings to a Bold Vision We started as a simple Adult Learning Centre , driven by a passion for education and a deep commitment to empowering our people. As time went on, we saw a growing need—not just for more schools, but for better and safer schools . Too many children feel unsafe at school. Bullying is widespread, and academic support is often lacking.

Why South Africa Needs More Private Schools in Middle-Class Communities

  Why South Africa Needs More Private Schools in Middle-Class Communities In South Africa, education is one of the most powerful tools we have to change lives — but access to quality schools remains unequal. Many public schools face serious challenges, including overcrowding, limited resources, and safety concerns. Private schools often provide better quality education, yet they are usually located far from middle-class communities and come with high tuition fees. That’s why we believe more private schools are not just a luxury — they are a necessity, especially in areas where parents are looking for better alternatives closer to home. 1. A Better Quality of Education Private schools typically offer smaller class sizes, more personalized attention, and well-trained teachers. Learners benefit from structured routines, stronger academic support, and access to modern resources — helping them grow in confidence and achieve their full potential. More private schools in middle-incom...
