EDEN College had a wonderful fashion show at the Green Fest and raised R13 620 which was donated to Marine Surf Lifesaving Club to support lifesaving.
Unlike many other sports clubs, lifesaving is a hobby which gives back to the community with members having to do active duty on the weekends and public holidays on Durban’s beaches.
At Eden to receive the money from principal, Chris Marcellin, was Carmel Billson, current marine SLC competitions captain and captain of the South African Lifesaving Team. Carmel currently holds the all time record for national title win in a single season, taking 17 national titles in 2016.
Carmel has been a lifesaver since the age of 15 and performs voluntary duties on Sundays and public holidays.
Russell Sadler, current marine SLC and South African team coach, also visited the school for the cheque handover.
Russell Sadler is a former member of the SA Lifesaving team, multiple national title holder and life member of Scottburgh Surf Lifesaving Club for having performed 10 years of active voluntary duties on Scottburgh Beach.
