Bishop Lavis High School (Map) is situated in Bishop Lavis on the Cape Flats, 14 kilometres outside Cape Town. Faced with a myriad of social and economic problems our learners receive the best possible support from a dedicated staff. Our aim is to nurture learners who are not only well educated but are good citizens, who can play a positive, meaningful role in our crumbling democracy and our vision is thus to strive to develop:

• A desire to learn and a recognition that learning is a life-long process;

• Appropriate community and cultural values;

• Physical and interpersonal skills;

• Self confidence, a high self-esteem and a positive outlook on life;

• A sense of community responsibility;

• Respect for self, property and rights of others.
