Gr 7 Monitors’ & Gr 12 Prefects’ Camp
Our Gr 7 Monitors and Gr 12 Prefects attended a leadership camp at Drakensville from 11 - 14 February. Through various challenges such as target shooting, stalk the lantern, zip-lining, raft building, hiking and an obstacle race, they had to solve problems and learn how to work together as a group, focusing on endurance and respect for each other. They also had the privilege of an informative visit to Eskom’s Tugela-Vaal hydroelectricity scheme. It is an incredible experience to visit a power station built entirely underground.

On 16 and 17 February, our High School rugby, 1st girls’ hockey and 1st netball teams participated in the Sarel Cilliers’ Sports Festival. The 1st hockey girls won their pool by winning three of their four matches and drawing one. In the finals they lost against Ferrum High placing them second overall. The scores were: KEHS 1 John Ross 0; KEHS 0 Estcourt 0; KEHS 2 Sarel Cilliers 0; KEHS 2 Pongola 0; KEHS 0 Ferrum 3.
The first netball team won one, but lost three games narrowly. Ayanda Nondabula was selected as player of the match against Sarel Cilliers.
The rugby boys had tough competition and competed very well. Even though they lost most of their games, they are geared up for this rugby season.
