Shaping future leaders in the community
Plainsman
|July 02, 2025
When Westridge High opened it’s doors in 1977, it was known as Mitchell’s Plain High School Number 1.

Ms Tertiens said she has fond memories of her children attending Westridge primary and high schools.
“Our children graduated from high school and pursued higher education, achieving significant milestones in their lives,” Ms Tertiens said.
Ms Johns attended the high school from Standard 6 (now Grade 8) in 1983 until she matriculated in 1987.
“Many great people came from Westridge High. Quite a few of my classmates have their PHDs, many people became journalists, including my sister Lynette Johns, and others had done amazing research at the University of the Western Cape.
“Our matric ball was at Westridge Civic Centre. There was nothing flashy about it. I can’t recall if we had a band or deejay.
