Congratulations to Amanda Malinga, who was awarded first place at the provincial level of the Grade 11 Financial Literacy Speech Competition. 
This competition was run by the KZN Financial Literacy Association and was held on October 17.

Many months of hard work and preparation paid off as the judges were wowed by Amanda’s speech, ‘Being Your Own Umpati’. Amanda won herself an iPad and a bursary valued at R70 000 to study an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in Financial Planning.

This prize was sponsored by FPi. The school also received a laptop and a data projector. She thanked Mr Lippke and Mrs Nortje for their mentorship, the BCM subject advisers for organising the competition at district level, and Mr Nortje for accompanying Amanda on Friday. Amanda has made DHS incredibly proud!
Mini-sport and culture prize-giving
On October 15 DHS held its mini-prize-giving. Many sport and culture awards and trophies were handed out to deserving winners. This is just a taste of the main prize-giving, which will be held on October 23 in the school hall. Parents wanting to attend can book tickets at the office. The prize-giving will commence at 7pm sharp, and DHS asks that all attending be seated well before the time.
