Key Traditions

Treverton College is passionately committed to two major traditions.

The first is "to celebrate the individual" and the second is "to pursue authentic Christianity", both of which help to equip pupils academically, physically and spiritually.

A Treverton education is South African Independent Schooling at its best.

Graduating pupils have a sense of being valued and special without being elitist; they are privileged but not spoiled and they are well-mannered and socially able to mix in the multicultural, economically-diverse reality of today.

Celebrating the Individual

There is every opportunity to excel at what they do best and to establish solid friendships that will stand the test of time.

We place importance on good values, manners, tolerance and how to voice an opinion.

Discipline

"We believe that if we take care of the pennies (haircuts, uniforms and manners etc), the pounds will take care of themselves. Our track record with regard to discipline has proven us right.

Pupils are encouraged to exercise self-discipline within a positive environment where good attitudes and self-improvement are important. We communicate our expectations to pupils; we have a system of demerits to trigger reasonable consequences at different benchmarks and we work with parents to remedy unacceptable behaviour."
