Sarel’s Samishka fights her way to the top

Samiksha Ramballie from Sarel Cilliers High School participated in the South African karate championship held at the Ellis Park Arena on Saturday, May 26.
She was placed in the top eight in her category where she competed against brown and black belt karatekas while being a brown belt herself. She obtained her South African colours and is eligible to represent South Africa in the All Africa games in September this year. It is an excellent achievement. Congratulations from everyone at Sarel Cilliers.

Chess
The Sarel Cilliers chess team took on St. Dominics chess team on Wednesday, May 23. The chess team all wore their new jackets and looked very admirable and neat. Gift Ndaba was the first to succeed in putting his opposing player in checkmate and unfortunately for St. Dominics the day just kept going Sarel’s way. The chess team really excelled and won the day 5.5 : 2.5. Both teams showed great character and dignity. Congrats to the Chess team for coming out tops today!
