Two of Sarel Cilliers’ top achievers were placed in fourth and fifth position in the Endumeni circuit and 90,5 per cent of its learners qualify to study at tertiary institutions.
André Niemann weer ‘n provinsiale wenner – Baie geluk aan André Niemann wat die provinsiale wenner van KwaZulu-Natal vir die Junior Olimpiade Huistaal is. Dit is die tweede jaar agtereenvolgend wat André hierdie prestasie behaal. Hoërskool Sarel Cilliers is baie trots op André: “Jy is ‘n ster, doen so voort!”
Sarel learners make it count – Sarel Cilliers topped the South African Mathematics Olympiad 2019, earning the title of Top Performing School in Quintile 4 in KZN. With around 112 000 learners participating in Round 1, followed by 19 821 in Round 2, Sarel’s very own mathematician, Shravan Mangaldeen scooped awards for being the Top Performing Junior Learner in Quintile 4 for Round 3 and making the Top 10 Junior Learners in KZN, placing fourth internationally and receiving a bronze medal and voucher for his excellent achievement.
Ayush Ramdutt was in the Top 3 Senior Learners in Quintile 4 in KZN. Three other learners, Lusanda Zondi, Asimdumise Zwane and Andre Niemand obtained positions in Top 3 Junior Learners in KZN (Quintile 4).
To new beginnings – The start of a new school year is always exciting. Sarel Cilliers has a wonderful group of Grade Eights starting a new phase of their school career and the school extends a warm welcome to every one of them: “Enjoy your time at Sarel Cilliers and all the best for 2020.”
Sarel sadly bade farewell to Mrs Coetzee, Mrs de Swardt, Mrs Heroux, Mrs van Zuydam and Mrs Menelaou at the end of last year. The school wishes them all the best for their new adventures. On a happier note, Sarel heartily welcomed new staff members and looks forward to many happy years with them on board.
