Dainfern College congratulates red blazer recipients
DAINFERN – Seven Dainfern College walked away with the school’s highest award for their many efforts during school time.
A local school’s recent colours assembly saw seven learners obtain red blazers.
At Dainfern College, the highest award that can be given to a learner is college honours in the form of a red blazer. Digital communications assistant at the school, Ashley van Aswegen explained that learners have to obtain a minimum of full colours in sport, academics, cultural, service and leadership to be considered. “A white scroll extracurricular award can replace sport or culture, provided the student has represented the school at first-team level and has achieved at least a team scroll in this area,” she said.
“Students also need to show evidence of their commitment to Dainfern College over a period of time and thus need to have achieved prestige awards in at least two of these areas.”
Learners have also considered if their conduct epitomises the school’s values and have also completed the required 10 hours of outreach.
“The countless hours of commitment and the high level of skills required to achieve across these disciplines show that recipients of the red blazer are genuine all-rounders at the highest level, rather than specialists in one field.”
The following seven learners received their red blazer:
- Jeff du Toit (Grade 11) – academics, public speaking and a white scroll for powerlifting
- Nerissa Govender (Grade 12) – academics, first aid, leadership and public speaking
- Simone Killops (Grade 12) – leadership, photography and water polo
- Katelyn Marais (Grade 12) – first aid, leadership and swimming
- Devashen Naidoo (Grade 12) – leadership, performing arts, service and a white scroll in karate
- Megan Pike (Grade 12) – academics, leadership and public speaking
- Jenna Sampson (Grade 12) – academics, chess and leadership.
