Every year, enthusiastic learners from the FET phase opt to enroll for the De Beers English Olympiad. This examination was written in March this year and marked at Rhodes University in Grahamstown.

From the dozens of candidates who sat for the examination, one learner stood out when she received the Gold Award. Many candidates scooped bronze and silver awards.

Serena Estelle Lanka, a Grade 11 learner at Port Shepstone Secondary, achieved an A symbol. Such a result is worthy of praise as the examination is challenging and requires endless hours of dedication and preparation. English educators, Thiloshnee Naidoo and Tanaya Singh are thanked for their diligence in securing exemplary results.

The school anticipates that many more learners will enroll for the Olympiad for 2027. The cost is R120. The school wishes the 2027 candidates every success with their preparation.
