Mandisa Shiceka High School was established in 1995 under the auspices of Kagiso Education Crises Committee and some educators who were volunteering their services. The aim for this establishment was to accommodate learners who could not be admitted to local schools due to the high rate of learners who were seeking admission. Furthermore, the intention was to offer quality teaching and learning programs.

The aim of this establishment was to accommodate learners who could not be admitted to local schools due to the high rate of learners who were seeking admission. Furthermore, the intention was to offer quality teaching and learning programs.
The school was officially opened on the 6th October 2000 by Mr. Ignatius Jacobs, the MEC for education. Mandisa Shiceka High school is a public school under the Gauteng Department of Education. It is named after the late Mandisa Shiceka who was a member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.
We have a Teacher / Learner ratio of 1:30 and our school quintile is 4. The school has ±60 percent of learners whose parents are not working. Furthermore another ±20 percent of parents who are working earn below minimum wage. This situation presents a challenge where parents are not able to meet the basic needs of their children. They cannot afford to provide lunch, in a form of food or pocket money for their children.
Enriching Student Lives
Our mission is to make sure that every learner develops an extraordinary knowledge, skills, values and attitude in the following academic discipline i.e Mathematics, Physical Sciences, ICT and other subjects provided by the school.
The learners are expected to leave the school with an outstanding matric and multiple certificates that will afford them an opportunity to participate fully and independently in this changing world led by the fourth industrial revolution.
The Passion of Education
At Mandisa Shiceka SOS, we understand that each of our students has individual wants and needs. We believe that learning can only be fostered from a feeling of mutual respect and compassion, and we maintain those values in everything we do. Our unique approach provides students with the proper support system that will help lead them to a successful path.
