We publish information about the school in good faith and try to keep it accurate and up to date. It is general information only.

Fees, dates, subjects, staff and other details may change without notice.
Where this website differs from the signed application form, enrolment agreement or the school’s official rules and fee schedule, those signed documents apply.
Results and pass rates describe past years. They are not a promise of any learner’s future results.
Nothing on this website is an offer or guarantee of admission.

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You may not try to gain unauthorised access to it, interfere with how it works, or use it to send unsolicited messages. The staff pages are for authorised school staff only.

4. Copyright and photographs

The text, logo and photographs on this website belong to the school or are used with permission. You may share links to our pages, but you may not copy, republish or alter our content, and in particular you may not reuse photographs of learners, without the school’s written permission.

If you would like a photograph of yourself or your child removed, email hoof@falsebayhigh.co.za and we will attend to it.

Part two

Privacy

We handle personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). We do not sell personal information.

8. What we collect, and why

Enquiry form. Your name, email address, phone number, the grade and year of entry you are interested in, and your message. These are emailed to the school office and used only to respond to your enquiry.
Online application form. Your answers are saved in your own browser while you fill the form in, so you can return to it. They are cleared after 28 days or once submitted.
Virtual assistant. Your conversation is kept in your browser only while the tab is open. If the assistant cannot answer a question, the text of that question is recorded so we can improve its answers. Do not type personal details into the assistant; long numbers such as ID or account numbers are never stored.

9. Cookies and Google Ads

This website uses the Google tag to measure how well our Google Ads work, for example how many visitors reach us from an advertisement and send an enquiry. Google may set cookies in your browser and collect information such as the pages you visit, your device and browser type, and your approximate location. Google may process this information outside South Africa.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and control personalised advertising through Google’s ad settings. Google’s use of this information is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

10. Keeping your information safe

We take reasonable steps to keep personal information secure, share it only with staff who need it to help you, and keep it only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected.

11. Your rights

You may ask to see the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Contact the school’s Information Officer, the Principal, at hoof@falsebayhigh.co.za or 021 853 7314.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa).
