The name meaning we are the future is an apt description of the learners that attend and the expectations we share with them.

Positioned right next to the settlement of Imizamo Yethu, the school primarily serves this community with the vast majority of its children from IY.The need for an additional high school in Hout Bay has been apparent for some time so it is with much anticipation and hope that Silikamva High has started and now continues to develop.The provision of a local, easily accessible school for the students of Imizamo Yethu is now a reality.
