Sarel Cilliers High School hosted the preliminary round of the Rotary Public Speaking Competition on Thursday, March 6. Dundee High School, Inkamane High School and Sarel Cilliers entered two teams each.
The rules of the competition required each team to put forward a problem pertinent to the youth of today, discuss the problem and then come up with practical and viable solutions.
The topics were wide and varied, including cyber-bullying, steroids, the use of illicit substances and the influence of the media on the youth of today. It was an informative and entertaining evening, greatly enjoyed by all.
Inkamane High School’s team and the Sarel Cilliers team (Solidus Nxumalo, Thuthuka Dlame and Portia Acheampong) were selected to go through to the semi-finals in Newcastle. Well done to all those students who took part – the standard gets higher and higher each year.

Athletics meeting at King’s Park Athletics Stadium
Ten athletes from Sarel Cilliers High School represented the Umzinyathi District in the KZN athletics championships in Durban over the past weekend. The weather played along after all the rain, and was perfect for sport in Durban. The athletes did not only perform very well in all their relative items but were also complimented on their good behaviour on the track as well as in the hotel where they stayed.
Hoërskool Sarel Cilliers se atlete het weereens baie goed goed presteer. Uit Umzinyathi se nege medaljes, is vyf medaljes deur Sarel Cilliers se atlete verower. Hardus van Eeden het die enigste goue medalje gewen, met diskus vir seuns O/17. Silwer medaljes is gewen deur Christo Marè (hamergooi seuns O/15) en Lindokuhle Dlamini (verspring seuns O/15), met Morgan Gregory wat vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar twee brons medaljes in onderskeidelik diskus en hamergooi vir seuns O/19 gewen het.
Congratulations to all the athletes, the school is proud of you.
