Rugby: Snish Mpontshane (17) might be the next rugby great bred by Dundee High. Snish has endured a grueling process of trials, where he has once again showed that he is a force to be reckoned with in rugby circles. Hours of dedication in the gym and on the rugby field have brought him to this level of competition.
Now Snish is reaping the fruits of his hard work. Snish has made Dundee High School proud and the school wishes Snish all of the best for his rugby future.
Gedurende die KZN proewe het Mnr Etienne Fynn, die Direkteur van die Sharks Akademie, ‘n belangstelling in Snish getoon.
Hy was baie beindruk met sy spel, en het uiteindelik vir Snish ‘n beurs aangebied van R155 000 per jaar, sou hy belangstel om verder aan te bly by die akademie. Snish het besluit om hierdie gulde geleentheid met albei arms aan te gryp, en gaan sy rugbytoekoms probeer bevorder by die Sharks Akademie in 2015. Dundee Hoërskool hoop om Snish in die nabye toekoms in die Sharks se senior span te sien.
For the second consecutive year Snish has managed to play himself straight into the starting lineup of the KZN Country Districts team.

Cricket: During late March, DHS sent 12 enthusiastic cricketers to participate in the Northern Natal Cricket Trials. Four boys were selected to represent Northern Natal at Hilton College, namely Colin Scott, Gert Cronjé and Jonathan Benjamin (in the U/17 division), and Nathaniel Benjamin in the U/15 division. In April, the boys went to Hilton College to undergo more trials to make up a preliminary KZN Inland team. Jonathan was chosen for the U/17 KZN Inland team, and Nathaniel was later called up for the U/15 KZN Inland team.
In June, Jonathan and eight other KZN Inland players were invited for a fitness camp for the U/19 KZN Inland team. He was then selected to go for the South African regional trials, at Sahara Cricket Stadium, in July. During the opening of this cricket camp, it was announced that the SA regional trials were for a team to represent the U/19 World Cup 2016, which will take place in Bangladesh. The preliminary SA Team will be announced in January 2015.
On Wednesday, July 2, the KZN Country Districts team departed for Worcester from Glenwood to participate in the annual Academy Week.
