SALT RIVER HIGH SCHOOL envisions encouraging young people to meet higher expectations for success implementing a values and reward system which encourages competition, in the hopes of offering more competent school leavers who serve their communities by making a positive societal contribution.

SALT RIVER HIGH SCHOOL strives to deliver quality education. Its learners, teachers, parents, staff and its community work together to create a safe, drug free school, in which learners can learn and teacher can teach. We care about ourselves and others, we respect each other, and we enjoy rich learning environments and opportunities. We share our knowledge and nurture progress and encourage competitive, challenging learning environments.
