In memorium
DHS was struck by the terrible tragedy of the sudden loss of Deon van Tonder. 
Many prayers are being said for Deon’s family and friends, as this is a wound only God’s love and comfort can heal. DHS misses Deon as a learner, a classmate, a friend and on the rugby field, and memories of him will be held close to our hearts. 
Psalm 147:3: “He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.”

Bloodbank
On Tuesday, May 20, the Bloodbank visited DHS. The Bloodbank representatives from DHS took great initiative in driving this cause into the hearts of DHS learners. The result was 152 learners pitched to donate, and 122 units were collected. Well done DHS! 
Rotary exchange
DHS said farewell to Jules Alet on Wednesday, May 21. Jules arrived from France, last year, with only a few words of English to help him get by, but he was able to deliver a fluent and beautiful speech in assembly before he left. It was amazing to see how much Jules accomplished during his year in SA. DHS would like to wish Jules a safe trip back to his family and friends!
Poetry tour
The Poetry Club visited Shakaland from May 9 to 11. Congratulations to Anele Buthelezi, Mzilikazi Khumalo and Ayanda Duze who received participation certificates. Ayanda Duze, Mfundo Madida and Simethembile Sibisi were awarded certificates of excellence. Well done to all our young poets and a special thank you to Mrs Madondo for organising this inspiring and enlightening experience. 

Rugby
On Saturday, April 24, Dundee High School played their annual league fixture versus Vryheid High School. Die O/14 seuns het goeie hardlooprugby ten toon gestel en Vryheid met 26 punte teenoor 19 geklop. The U/15 boys also displayed an enterprising brand of rugby with fantastic offloads in the tackle that eventually led to them beating Vryheid 26-10. 
Die O/16 rugby seuns het weer skoonskip gemaak en Vryheid baie oortuigend met 33 punte teenoor 0 getroef. Dundee High School’s rugby future looks immensely promising.

Hockey
Saturday proved to be a great day for hockey with the teams playing fantastically well. The little U/14s had a tough game and unfortunately lost. 
The U/16A team continued their unbeaten streak by winning 1-0, and the U/16Bs did their coach proud by drawing 0-0. The second team, riddled with injuries and absent players, played brilliantly and managed to draw 0-0. 
The first team played a great game of running hockey that proved very exciting to watch, and came off the field victorious with a score of 1-0.
The second boys’ team had a tough game against larger, more experienced players, and unfortunately lost 0-1. The first team played a good game against their larger, more aggressive opponents. A very evenly matched-game ended in a 1-1 score, which bodes well for the future of this very young first boys’ hockey team.

Netball
On April 24, Dundee High School played netball against Vryheid High School. The U/16A and U/15A netball girls managed brilliant victories over the opposition. Well done to them. The netball girls played to the last minute. C
