Our Grade 3s have been exploring the wonders of planets and the galaxy. To solidify their learning, they brought the solar system to life by crafting colorful planets and astronauts using balloons and papier-mâché. Their creations turned the classroom into an out-of-this-world display of cosmic discovery.

Introducing Graham Bennetts, Head of College and Acting Head of School, starting Term 4. Developing our College is an important next step in Forest Edge's growth – as we add Grade 9 in 2027, Grade 10 in 2028, and work toward our first IEB matric cohort in 2030, strong senior leadership matters more than ever. Graham brings extensive leadership experience: Executive Head of Reddam House Helderfontein, Campus Head of IIE's Varsity College, and Deputy Headmaster of Maritzburg College – across whole-school leadership, academics, strategy, staff development and safeguarding. What stood out to us: Graham understands we're building a school, not simply managing an established one. Welcome, Graham – we can't wait to see how you shape the future of our growing high school.

Photos from Forest Edge Schools's post 29/09/2026

Our Grade 7 and 8 students recently took on Outward Bound in Sedgefield for an unforgettable outdoor adventure, focused on connection, teamwork and growth.

The Grade 7s tackled an action-packed day side-by-side with the Grade 8s, conquering physical challenges, building confidence, and forging strong ties as they prepare for their leap into high school.

Our Grade 8s kept the momentum going with a two-day, one-night camp! After a dynamic first day alongside the Grade 7s, they stayed overnight to take on river rafting and the high-flying trapeze on Day 2. These shared moments helped foster self-reliance, trust, and deep bonds as they prepare to step into Grade 9 together.

We are so proud of the courage and spirit shown by every learner!

Thank you to our teachers and the awesome .sa team for making it a wonderful time away.
