Bursary students make Transnet proud
School learners will enter the maritime field through Transnet National Ports Authority bursaries.
YOUNG people from some of KZN’s disadvantaged communities continue to enter the maritime field through Transnet National Ports Authority bursaries at the prestigious Lawhill Maritime Centre in Simon’s Town.
Sandiswa Gobo and Sive Gcume from Durban are among the six new Grade 10 learners who will begin their Transnet-funded maritime studies at the school next year.
At the Lawhill Annual Awards ceremony held recently to honour the Centre’s top achievers, Grade 12 learner Thandeka Duma of Durban was presented with the Newall Family Special Award and also received a certificate for completing modules in Maritime Economics and Nautical Sciences, the two maritime studies subjects which form part of the National Senior Certificate (NSC) curriculum.
Grade 11 TNPA Lawhill bursary holder, Lizwi Dlamini of Durban was honoured with the Newall Family Academic Award for Nautical Science, while Siphelele Ncube, a Grade 11 TNPA bursary holder from Durban, received the Nolleen Roussouw Memorial Trophy for Leadership, Academic Achievement and Involvement in School Activities in Grade 11.
