Himalaya Secondary School is in Laudium, Tshwane, not in Lenasia. This catches people out constantly, because both are historically Indian communities with similarly named schools, and they are in different cities. The school stands on the corner of Bengal Street and 37th Avenue, Laudium, Pretoria.
No official source publishes a direct number, so contact runs through the Gauteng Department of Education on 011 355 0000, toll free 0800 000 789, and the Tshwane district office.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory and is not the school or the department.
Laudium and Lenasia are not the same place
Laudium is in Pretoria, in the City of Tshwane. Lenasia is south of Johannesburg. They are roughly seventy kilometres apart, and each has its own secondary schools serving a similar community.
Say Laudium, Tshwane when you contact a district office, because a request naming only the school can be routed to the wrong district. If your child’s records name a Lenasia school, this is not the right page.

Around a thousand learners
The school carries close to a thousand learners with roughly thirty six educators. At that size the office is difficult to reach by telephone during teaching hours, which is part of why departmental routes are more reliable.
- Apply through the Gauteng online admissions window, which opens well ahead of the school year, and list more than one school.
- Subject choices are made in Grade 9 for Grade 10 entry, and they set what a learner can study afterwards.
- A report or transfer may not be withheld over unpaid fees, and a learner may not be refused admission on that basis.
- Escalate in order: school, governing body, Tshwane district office, then the province.
