The school usually meant by “Bellville High School” is Hoërskool Bellville, and it answers on 021 948 1801. The email is [email protected] and the school is in De La Hayelaan, Bellville, 7530. It is an Afrikaans medium school, which is the single most important thing to know before you phone.

Make sure you have the right school first
Bellville has more than one high school with a confusingly similar name, and calls land at the wrong office constantly. These are separate schools, in different places, with different offices.
| School | Contact | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hoërskool Bellville | 021 948 1801 | Verified on the school’s own website. Afrikaans medium |
| Bellville South High School | 021 951 5270, directory listed | A separate school in Bellville South |
| Bosmansdam High School | Separate school | Often confused in directory listings |
Only the first was confirmed against a source the school controls. The Bellville South number comes from business directories and we could not verify it on an official school page.

Language of instruction, and what it means for you
This catches out families who search in English and assume the school teaches in English. Hoërskool Bellville teaches in Afrikaans, so a learner is taught, assessed and examined in Afrikaans across every subject.
- Ask the office directly what the language policy is for the year you are applying for, and whether any subjects are offered in English.
- A school’s language policy is set by its governing body, within provincial rules. It is not something the office can waive over the phone.
- You have the right to be taught in an official language of your choice where reasonably practicable. In practice that means the district, not the school, is who you raise it with if no nearby school offers your language.
- Correspondence may come back in Afrikaans. That is normal and not a brush off. Ask for English if you need it.
Admissions
Applications run through the WCED online admissions system during the published window, more than a year ahead of the year of entry. Apply to several schools, because proximity helps but does not secure a place. Phone 021 948 1801 to confirm supporting documents and any subject or language requirements.
If no school offers your child a place, that becomes a district responsibility rather than a school one. Metro North handles placement in this area.

Order matters: the teacher, then the principal, then the governing body, then the district. Anything involving fees, admission refusal or language policy goes to the district, because those are governed by rules the school cannot set aside on its own.
