You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Hillcrest High School''' is a [[co-educational]] high school in [[Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal|Hillcrest]], near [[Durban]], in [[KwaZulu-Natal]], [[South Africa]].

==History==
Hillcrest High School is a co-educational high school situated 2,5&nbsp;km from the centre of Hillcrest and 35&nbsp;km from Durban.

Hillcrest High had its origins at [[Hillcrest Primary School]] where, for a number of years, Grade 8 and 9 classes were accommodated. Hillcrest High opened its doors for the first time on 20 January 1976 with an enrolment of 276 learners and a staff of 18. The school was officially opened in October 1976 by the then Director of Education, Mr P R T Nel.

The founding principal, Mr Clive Talbot, served the school for nearly two years before being promoted to Head Office. Mr Talbot's successors have been:
* Mr Phillip Hawkins
* Mr Malcom Garrett
* Mr Gerald Delport
* Mr Craig Girvin
* Mrs Denise Knight 

The school has a student population just under 1200, and academic staff of more than 52.

Over the years the school has had learners in the top 30 candidates in the Natal Senior Certificate examinations, has obtained Matric exemption rates of up to 80%, has featured consistently in academic extension olympiads. Learners have represented KwaZulu-Natal in sports and cultural activities.((Citation needed|date=September 2010))

The school was the first in KwaZulu-Natal to introduce the Craft, Design and Technology subject in 1991, a bridging programme in 1992, Teacher Assistant programme in 1993, and Zulu for all Grade 8 and 9 learners in 2000.

Sports facilities include three netball courts, a quarter astro turf, four hockey fields, two rugby/soccer fields, three cricket pitches and a multi-purpose indoor centre. The Inanda Road property is used for hockey, cricket and soccer.

Parents were largely responsible for the levelling and grassing of the Belvedere Field which was opened in 1984. The most successful fund raising ventures to date have provided a swimming pool opened in 1986, a Media Centre opened in 1987 and the multi-purpose indoor centre opened in 2020. 1991 saw the completion of two Art Studios and The Cage Theatre.

During 1999 the school's governing body embarked on a major upgrade of the school's Information Technology facilities. Structural improvements were made to the library to allow the installation of more computers for research and Internet access. A new server and 30 computers were installed in the Computer Room. 25 more computers were installed in the Typing Room to allow the introduction of Computyping, a subject which teaches word processing instead of typing.

In February 1991 the parents of the school voted to assume Model B status, opening the doors to learners of all race groups. In August 1992, along with most schools controlled by the Department of Education and Culture (House of Assembly), Hillcrest High became a state-aided school. The management and control of the school is invested in its Governing Body. In terms of the South African Schools Act of 1996, Hillcrest High is now a public school.
