Protea Heights Academy's flag in a collage with flags from other schools (mainly from the UK ) as well as on a separate flag with all the Marine Sciences pilot node schools. These flags will be traveling to the South Pole with Antarctic Quest - an expedition to commemorate the life of the polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Our participation is sponsored by Antarctic Legacy of South Africa.

The Gr 10 and 11 Marine Sciences learners, Mr Seaward and Dr Wheeler attended the Blue Cinema Week at Iziko Museum this morning. The bus transport and light lunch packs for the learners were sponsored by the Iziko Museum and the Consulate of France in Cape Town. A screening of a new documentary on plastic pollution was followed by a lively panel discussion on the subject. Dr Wheeler also presented a talk on Marine Sciences and specifically on where the impact of human activities are covered in the subject's curriculum.

PHA also received a proud compliment from the French Program Officer, "It was a great pleasure to have you and your learners today. I think your class truly exemplifies what our education system needs in this century, globally."

Today the PHA family is celebrating a remarkable milestone.
We are proud to announce that Ms Andrea Coetzer has officially been appointed as the new Principal of Protea Heights Academy.

She has been our Acting Principal for the past 18 months, and she has seamlessly navigated the school through the Covid-19 pandemic.

We are extremely proud of her, and we wish her the best of luck in her new role. We look forward to a prosperous and fruitful new season. The staff body is excited to share her vision for our school and to reach greater heights.

Congratulations Ms Andrea Coetzer!

PHA_Spirit Day 2021
"While we try to teach our children about life, our children teach us what life is all about."
Our first spirit day was an exciting day allowing our learners to just be children by expressing themselves creatively in their different grade's theme. It was great fun and definitely needed during this pandemic.

Welcome to your leaders of 2022!
