PBHS Values
At Pinetown Boys’ High School, we are passionate about fostering young men in a holistic learning environment. Our goal is to provide the best intellectual, physical, and social education while embracing our motto: “Bravely into All Things”
Our Mission is to empower our learners with the confidence to face the challenges of the future. This mission is built on diversity and the nurturing of our core values:
Values and Principles of Excellence
At Pinetown Boys’ High School, we take pride in our traditions, history, achievements, and reputation. Through our values and conduct, we build a strong foundation for future leaders who carry the PBHS legacy forward.
HONOUR
The quality of knowing and doing what is morally right. It includes taking responsibility and being accountable. Learners of honour are respected and trusted by the community to always act ethically, even under peer and social pressure.
INTEGRITY
Having strong moral principles and consistently living by them in all circumstances. A person of integrity is honest, righteous, and possesses an unwavering moral compass. Integrity is a personal quality, rooted in one’s beliefs rather than external perceptions.
LOYALTY
Being supportive and true to PBHS, its values, and the broader school community. Loyalty fosters a strong bond among learners, educators, and alumni.
RESPECT
Exhibiting exceptional manners and consideration towards others. Learners demonstrate respect not only within PBHS but also in interactions with visitors and the general public, valuing diverse viewpoints and acting with courtesy.
COURAGE
The ability to face difficulty, danger, or uncertainty with fearless self-possession. Courage is an essential trait admired in PBHS learners, helping them navigate challenges with confidence.
BRAVERY
Overcoming fears is critical for personal growth. PBHS encourages learners to develop bravery daily, pushing their limits to achieve greatness.
EXCELLENCE
Excellence is an art cultivated through training and habit. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
COMMITMENT
Commitment reflects the strength of an individual’s dedication to a cause. At PBHS, learners, parents, teachers, and alumni take immense pride in maintaining high standards in academics, extra-murals, behavior, and character development.
