WESTVILLE Boys’ High School invited its top 30 matriculants back to the school to honour them at a special assembly.
As a group they attained an incredible 217 distinctions.
Dux Jarrod Staples(left), who claimed first position in KZN and third position in South Africa, was also awarded the school’s highest honour, a Pro Meritis Blazer.
“The Pro Meritis award can best be defined as an award to a young man at Westville Boys’ High School who has achieved a “degree of excellence” in his chosen field.
Not necessarily in any one skill or because he has been blessed with particular talent, rather it is an award to a pupil who has achieved the highest degree of excellence to which we aspire in the school and who has by example of character, attitude, involvement, application, unselfishness, modesty and dedication over a period of time, reflected the personal attributes which we value in our school,” said headmaster, Trevor Hall. “It is an award which, in its entirety, is the highest honour that the school can bestow on a boy.”
