DUNDEE KZN: Dundee Highs hosts stellar prizegiving

On Thursday, 21 October 2021, DHS hosted our annual academic prize giving. 

Each table was decorated according to a specific subject, leading to lovely eye-catching décor.  The guests were even treated to a beautifully wrapped snack box consisting of savoury and sweet treats.  Due to Covid-19 and this challenging year in terms of sport, DHS staff, management and governing body decided to merit sport awards based on overall performance from GR10 – Gr12.  This ensured that athletes were recognised for their outstanding achievements and talents.

The speeches began and we were off to a great start.  Mr Sadaw was the honoured guest speaker and shared words of wisdom with the matriculants of 2021.  The secret to success lies in wanting it as much as you want to breathe. 

Mr Sadaw is clearly a natural when it comes to motivational talks. 

With everyone inspired and ready to take 2022 by the horns, our formal prizegiving commenced with the following prizes and trophies awarded to the talented, hard working class of 2021:
