Controversies
In June 2021, the school was accused of racism and discrimination in the form of comments made by staff members and negative attitudes shown towards students of colour. Parents and students accused the school of rejecting transformation calls after failing to follow through on promises of racial transformation at the school.[1][2]
On January 30, 2026, Cornwall Hill College hosted the group JBM (Jaco Booyens Ministries) which sparked controversy amongst the parents due to the political nature of this presentation being directed to the students. This collaboration appalled many parents and students, due to controversial topic of politics and religion as well as mentioning the support of Donald Trump who is alleged in being included in the undertaking of the child abductions on Little Saint James island, Epstein Files. Many parents saw this as hypocritical due to the intended subject of preventing child trafficking, as well as criticizing the of South African Government[3]
