Three weeks of holiday are about to start; however, that does not mean we will be resting. It is a very busy holiday, with a large number of activities, ranging from Football, to Chess, Debating, Rugby and a Creative Arts Holiday Programme.
Three of our Debating boys left this morning to represent the Durban and Coastal League at the annual KZN Provincial Champs at Hillcrest High. The Champs take place today and tomorrow.
Durban High School is hosting a Football Festival from 1 to 3 July, following on from the success of the inaugural festival held during the 150th celebrations last year. Ten schools from around the country will be playing 30 games over three days and we are expecting to see some very attractive Football. Games will be played from 9am until 3pm each day, the fixtures can be found on page 3 of this newsletter or on our Facebook page. Do come along to support our Festival and our Boys.
