Herewith they ended off what has been an outstanding year of academic success. Having alum Carol Coetzee, Head of Department of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Treasury, as guest speaker was the highlight of a successful event.
Shantay-Leah Merrington, GHS’s Dux for 2022, overcame incredibly difficult odds during her high school career. She had endured three medical operations and missed between two to four months of school each time. Between doctor’s visits and being confined to the library owing to mobility challenges, she has managed, not only to keep up with her school work but excel in it. Shantay-Leah achieved Academic Honours, placed first in Life Orientation, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Accounting, and is a most deserving recipient of the Blunt Family Dux Trophy. She also received the Gift of the Givers Trophy for excellence in Mathematics and Sciences.
Shantay-Leah, a devote animal lover, will be studying Veterinary Science at the University of Pretoria.
