Top Alex student awarded by Highlands North Boys

HIGHLANDS NORTH - Highlands North Boys High School pupil Abner Lesoka, one of the bursary recipients of the Alexandra Education Committee (AEC), has been awarded an honours blazer.

The committee provides disadvantaged children from Alexandra with bursaries to attend quality high schools outside Alex.

Lesoka, a Grade 11 pupil, is a shining star for the AEC. “This a significant achievement as [he] was commended for his tireless work for Interact – a Highlands North Boys food garden initiative,” said AEC’s Beth Amato.

Lesoka has shown his leadership in using innovative gardening methods such as mulching and alternative water collection to grow the best crop yield in five years, despite the drought. He is also an outstanding rugby player and an excellent academic.
