The KwaZulu-Natal boarding school is the most expensive school in South Africa, with an annual tuition of close to half a million rand.

WHY DID HILTON COLLEGE MAKE HEADLINES?
In May, Hilton College George Harris scolded parents of learners in the school in an open letter for their “extravagant” display at a derby day against Michaehouse.
This included hiring five-star hosting and catering services that showcased lavish displays of food like sushi, biltong, and couture cakes.
The principal also criticised the parents for not cleaning up after the events.
He wrote: “When hospitality and generosity became self-serving displays of opulence, and began to pull away from what we aspire to be as a community.
The principal added: “Next year, can we ditch the opulence in favour of a wholesome hospitality devoid of showmanship and loud extravagance?.
“When the extravagance stretches into overconsumption, the message we send to our children is wrong”.
