BUSINESS NEWS - At Greenwood Bay College, education is about far more than academic achievement. The school is built on the belief that young people thrive when high expectations are combined with genuine care, connection, and a strong sense of belonging.
The school is honoured to have been nominated in four categories of the Best of Knysna & Plett Readers’ Choice Awards: Best Pre-Primary School, Best Primary School, Best High School, and Best Private School.
Greenwood Bay College extends its sincere thanks to learners, parents, staff, alumni, and the wider community for their continued support and confidence.
These nominations reflect the collective commitment of the entire school community to excellence in education and meaningful relationships.
In a world that often feels fast-paced and demanding, Greenwood Bay College offers families a learning environment where every learner is known and valued as an individual.
Teachers are more than educators; they are mentors who invest in each learner’s growth, confidence and well-being, helping young people discover their strengths, build resilience, and develop a strong sense of self.
This philosophy extends beyond the classroom. Learners are encouraged to pursue excellence in academics, sport, culture, leadership, creativity and service.
The school aims to develop well-rounded young people who are academically capable, emotionally resilient, socially aware, and prepared to navigate a rapidly changing world with confidence and purpose.
A strong sense of community lies at the heart of the Greenwood Bay College experience. Families, educators and learners work together to create an environment where collaboration, character and personal growth are valued alongside achievement.
The school continues to invest in opportunities that enrich learner development. Dance and drama now form part of the curriculum across all grades, complementing sport, leadership programmes and a growing range of extracurricular activities. Structured aftercare and enrichment programmes also provide a safe and stimulating environment beyond the traditional school day.
Recent developments, including a new 650-seat hall, upgraded sports facilities, a bistro and a new high school building nearing completion, demonstrate the school’s ongoing commitment to creating an inspiring environment where learners can thrive.

Looking ahead, Greenwood Bay College will host the inaugural Plett Games later this year. The community festival will feature 12 fun and engaging challenges for teams and individuals, alongside live music, food stalls, family entertainment and activities for all ages.
More than just an event, the Plett Games reflects the school’s commitment to strengthening community connections and creating opportunities for people to come together and celebrate the spirit of Plettenberg Bay.
