The Beast Foundation, in partnership with Inspired Education Group, has proudly announced the one-year anniversary of three high school scholarship recipients at Reddam House Helderfontein.
The scholarships were awarded to Njabulo Zulu, Ethan Makombe and Tshenolo Gaesenewe, who were selected from over 200 applicants from across South Africa.
The scholarships, which cover both tuition and boarding fees, have given these learners access to a world-class education at the school.
The Beast Foundation also sponsored school uniforms, stationery, and textbooks for the beneficiaries.
Ethan from Durban, Njabulo from Johannesburg and Tshenolo from Potchefstroom have thrived in their new environment, despite the challenges that come with being away from home.
All three learners have found success in their academic and extramural activities, with Njabulo involved in aquatics, basketball, public speaking, chess and major production.
Ethan excels in drama and basketball, while Tshenolo participates in hockey, soccer and choir.
In response to their first year at Reddam House Helderfontein, Ethan described it as interesting, Njabulo described it as unexpected and Tshenolo described it as experimental.
Tendai Mtawarira, founder and chairperson of The Beast Foundation said, “Tshenolo, Njabulo, and Ethan are excelling at Reddam Helderfontein. This makes me so happy and fulfils the mission of the foundation which is to empower young people with education and provide them with access to wonderful resources and schools like Reddam that will enable them to thrive and succeed.”
Reddam House Helderfontein is a unique school that focuses on using nature as a classroom.
Its learners have access to world-class facilities, such as boutique boarding houses, fully equipped science laboratories, high-tech classrooms, an indoor aquatic centre and performing arts studios.
The school’s innovative approach to education has resulted in learners spending less time on their devices and more time interacting with each other.
Graham Bennetts, executive head of Reddam House Helderfontein, expressed his pride in the scholarship recipients and said, “Their parents, and Beast himself can be exceptionally proud and I have no doubt that all three have the potential to become great future leaders in our country.”
