The DHS art studio will be hosting an art exhibition on April 10.
The exhibition will be held in the school hall, and will begin at 6pm. The entrance fee is R20, and all are encouraged to support this cause as the money raised will be donated to the KZN Project Rhino – which needs all the help it can get!
Ask yourself: What am I doing to help protect and save this majestic animal?
KZN athletics
Thirteen DHS athletes took part in the KZN Provincial Meeting this past weekend. All of them qualified for the finals in their different events. The following athletes were awarded medals: Colin Scott (U/17) received a bronze in javelin; Chanté Groenewald (U/15) won silver in her long jump event; and Samu Twala (U/15) was awarded a bronze in javelin. Well done to all these athletes for their excellent results on the field, and for their excellent behaviour. Thank you to the bus driver, Mr Boshoff. Thank you also to Mrs Heroux and Mrs Boshoff for accompanying and motivating the learners every step of the way!
Voortrekker Day
On March 15 Dundee High School’s rugby teams travelled to Voortrekker High School. The U/14s kicked off with a convincing victory against Voortrekker High School, with the final score at 15-5 in Dundee High’s favour. Hoërskool Dundee se O/15 span het te staan gekom teen Kuswag Hoërskool, en het rugby uit die boonste rakke gespeel, en uiteindelik 36-0 geseëvier. DHS’s first team put in a great effort to eventually top
Greytown 15-14, despite the second half being shortened by 15 minutes. Dundee High School managed to score three tries, but with their regular kickers being tied up with athletics they couldn’t convert those tries. Die 2014 seisoen lyk baie belowend vir Hoërskool Dundee.
Hockey: Finals at Voortrekker
The first team hockey girls truly lived up to the adage, ‘No guts, no glory’ this weekend at the Voortrekker Sports Day. The draw had them playing five games, one after one the other, with only an 18-minute break between the games. These were followed by the last pool game, two hours later. Fantastic hockey was played and the girls showed great cohesion and a die-hard spirit. After winning four games and drawing two, they were through to the finals. After only a five-minute break between their last game and the final, they unfortunately lost 1-0. The girls were then treated to a live rugby game when they went to watch the Sharks beat the Reds in the Shark Tank.

On March 15 and 16 Dundee High’s Mudman athletes participated in the Mudman event at the Midmar Dam, organised by Cordwalles. The athletes as well as their parents spent an enjoyable weekend on the banks of the Midmar, camping and having fun, and also saw some thrilling multi-sport action over the weekend. The athletes performed very well, and once again made DHS very proud.
