St Dominics Newcastle is celebrating an outstanding achievement after all four of its Grade 11 entrants in the Newcastle Sakekamer Entrepreneurial Challenge secured places in the competition’s Top Five, showcasing the entrepreneurial talent, creativity and business acumen of its learners.
The four learners were invited to attend the prestigious awards gala evening, held at Grey Goose on October 30, where their hard work and innovative business ideas were recognised among entries from more than ten schools.
The results were exceptional:
- Group Category (1st place): Nihal Rai and Ahad Zaman

- Individual Category (4th place): Zibusiso Ngwenya
Learners were evaluated on the quality, creativity and viability of their business plans, making the achievement particularly significant.
Collectively, the four young entrepreneurs secured prizes valued at more than R50 000.
Their success reflects not only their ability to develop innovative business concepts but also their willingness to embrace challenges, think creatively and explore opportunities beyond the traditional classroom environment.
Business Studies teacher, Navah Maharaj, expressed her immense pride in the learners, highlighting their enthusiasm for business, eagerness to learn and commitment throughout the competition.
“Their positive attitude and willingness to develop their ideas gave her every confidence in their potential to achieve outstanding results.”
