At Herzlia, every milestone, big or small, is a celebration of our pupils’ talents, passion and purpose. From academic achievement to artistic flair, sporting excellence to leadership with heart, we’re proud to share a glimpse into the vibrant lives of our pupils. Whether on the sports field, in the art room, in the council chamber, or in the ocean waves, Herzlia pupils are showing the world what they’re made of!

Introducing Herzlia High School’s new 2025-6 Student Leadership Council!
Meet our newest young leader
Saskia Gofman, Gr11 (below) at Herzlia High School, has been selected for the Cape Town Junior City Council, a prestigious platform nurturing youth leadership.
Over the coming year, she’ll engage in leadership workshops, attend council meetings, go on city-led excursions and, most excitingly, launch her very own community improvement project. Kol Hakavod! A true example of Herzlia menschlichkeit in action!
Art with a sparkle of Shabbat
Creativity and flair came together when Caitlyn Rossiansky, Gr5 (at left) at Herzlia Highlands Primary, took top honours in the Jewel Grape Juice label redesign competition. Her artwork, selected in the non-digital category, will soon appear on bottles gracing Shabbat tables around the country.
Making waves
Two Herzlia Primary pupils braved the open sea and swell, bringing home top honours at the recent national SA Surf Lifesaving Champs in Gqeberha. We’re so proud of your grit, spirit and strength!
Ramona Tucker (Highlands Primary, Gr3) raced her first 50m beach sprint and claimed a bronze, later adding a silver in the beach flags! She also competed in the run-swim-run, board relay, and 800m run.
Remy Zaroozny (Weizmann Primary, Gr4) made the finals in both the Malibu and Body Board events and narrowly missed a medal in the U10 mixed beach relay.
