#ProudToBeSAHETI

SAHETI School was established in 1974 by a group of founders under the leadership of Advocate George Bizos. Its doors were open to all, welcoming widely diverse communities to share in its values-driven, universal education.
The campus has evolved as part of a unique design, which has attracted much attention and even professional recognition in the form of awards from the Institute of South African Architects. From the outset, SAHETI’s approach to education was dynamic and innovative. The school has become known for its enlightened teaching methods, consistent academic excellence and rich cultural life.
The expansive grounds have allowed for development of enviable sports facilities, to cater for a wide variety of activities. Today this vibrant school ranks amongst the top independent schools in South Africa. Its enrolment of about 1300 boys and girls is spread over a Playschool, Pre-Primary School, Primary School and High School.
SAHETI is situated in Senderwood, Bedfordview, on the eastern outskirts of Johannesburg.
Teenagers worldwide united for the future of sport values
A new innovative educational program that uses sport as a universal language to promote values, teamwork, and global citizenship.
A program that unites schools from diverse continents on an educational and cultural journey that promotes FairPlay as a way of life, through sport, creativity, and reflection.
Promotes excellence, innovation and FairPlay in education using the universal language of sport.


“The school motto, ‘Know Thyself’ dates back to ancient Greece and was expounded upon by the likes of Socrates. For me it speaks to the need for self-reflection, through which we will begin to understand our need for God and our dependence on each other. I believe that a good understanding of self will also spur us on as individuals towards training our bodies, mind and character so that we may maximise our God given potential and fulfil the calling upon our lives.”
– Mr Warwick Taylor (Former Executive Headmaster 2014-2022)
Mrs Ekaterini Hadjitheodorou (Marinou)
Kyria Katerina dedicated more than 15 years to teaching in the Greek Department at SAHETI School. Through her commitment to the Greek language and education, she played a valued role in the lives of the many pupils she taught in both the Primary and High School.
Following her years at SAHETI, she continued sharing her knowledge and passion for teaching through private lessons and also taught as part of the SAHETI Support Plan on Saturdays. She later made her home in Kalymnos, Greece, returning to her roots. Her connection to SAHETI was also a family one, as her son, Aristos, attended and matriculated at the school.
Kyria Katerina will be remembered with fondness by former colleagues and the many pupils who had the privilege of being taught by her. Her contribution to nurturing and enriching the Greek spirit at SAHETI will always be valued.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her sons, Mike and Aristos, her grandchildren and all her family and friends.

Something big is taking shape!
From the first foundations to the towering concrete columns, our new Court Sports Precinct is rising. Every brick, beam and boot on the ground brings us closer to a new home for SAHETI, designed by ATMOS.
Be part of the vision. Be part of the legacy.

28 October – A Day of Honour, Dignity and Remembrance
Today, the SAHETI family came together to commemorate “OXI” Day, honouring the courage of the Greek people who, on 28 October 1940, stood firm in defence of their freedom, dignity and national honour.
Through traditional Greek dances, classical Greek dances, dramatizations, poems, songs and the sounds of the bouzouki, our pupils brought the spirit of this historic day to life, paying tribute to those who fought, suffered and sacrificed so that future generations could live in freedom.
At SAHETI, the preservation and promotion of Hellenic language, history and culture are at the heart of who we are. “OXI” Day is not simply a historical anniversary; it is an enduring reminder that freedom must never be taken for granted and that courage, dignity and the willingness to stand up for what is right remain timeless values.
28 Οκτωβρίου – Μια Ημέρα Τιμής, Αξιοπρέπειας και Μνήμης
Σήμερα, η οικογένεια του ΣΑΧΕΤΙ συγκεντρώθηκε για να τιμήσει την επέτειο του «ΟΧΙ», αποτίοντας φόρο τιμής στο θάρρος του ελληνικού λαού, ο οποίος στις 28 Οκτωβρίου 1940 στάθηκε ακλόνητος στην υπεράσπιση της ελευθερίας, της αξιοπρέπειας και της εθνικής του τιμής.
Μέσα από παραδοσιακούς ελληνικούς χορούς, κλασικούς ελληνικούς χορούς, θεατρικά δρώμενα, ποιήματα, τραγούδια και τους ήχους του μπουζουκιού, οι μαθητές μας ζωντάνεψαν το πνεύμα αυτής της ιστορικής ημέρας, τιμώντας τις θυσίες όσων αγωνίστηκαν, υπέφεραν και θυσιάστηκαν, ώστε οι επόμενες γενιές να μπορούν να ζουν ελεύθερες.
Στη Σχολή ΣΑΧΕΤΙ, η διατήρηση και η προώθηση της ελληνικής γλώσσας, της ιστορίας και του πολιτισμού βρίσκονται στον πυρήνα της ταυτότητάς μας. Η επέτειος του «ΟΧΙ» δεν αποτελεί απλώς μια ιστορική επέτειο· αποτελεί μια διαχρονική υπενθύμιση ότι η ελευθερία δεν είναι ποτέ δεδομένη και ότι το θάρρος, η αξιοπρέπεια και η δύναμη να υπερασπιζόμαστε το δίκαιο παραμένουν αξίες διαχρονικές.
Χρόνια Πολλά, Ελλάδα!
