EcoSchools Club gets their own Eco Hut!

We are incredibly grateful to Eugene Smook and Yvette Newby (whose daughter Coral attended Hillcrest High School) of Beavers Sundecks for the generous donation of a tool shed for the HHS EcoSchools Club. The Club members are now able to store their gardening tools, hosepipe, and gloves close to the garden which makes managing the space much easier – instead of having to collect everything from Mrs Prior’s life sciences lab on the far side of the school.

Thank you to the Angel Fund Supporters!

The Angel Fund Breakfast fundraiser, hosted at Hillcrest High School on 31 August, was a resounding success. The CM Girvin Multi-Purpose Centre was buzzing with the sound of ladies celebrating the final day of Women’s Month, giving back, getting back, and enjoying a delicious breakfast with friends. Congratulations to Mrs Sharmila Kowlesur, Mrs Carol Edy, Mrs Megan McLaughlin, and the Angel Fund learners for hosting another a brilliant event.

Guest speakers, Megan and Fay Coleman, of Image Insured encouraged the close to 300 guests to be confident in their value, advising on colour selection and clothing style choices based on figure shape. Megan, a past pupil from Hillcrest High School, said she was excited to be back at HHS to support the Angel Fund and motivate guests.

Mandela Day 2024 - Get behind the HHS initiatives

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰

In 2011, the Nelson Mandela Foundation introduced the “Make Every Day A Mandela Day” slogan, switching from the "67 Minutes" narrative to encourage communities, individuals, and corporates to take responsibility for social justice in their communities EVERY day of the year. The hope was that Mandela Day would become more than just a day, but a global movement of ordinary people doing extraordinary things for their communities and Madiba.

At Hillcrest High School we like to believe that we have adopted the Mandela Foundation principle of #ItIsInYourHands and our motto, "If it is to be, it is up to me," sets the stage for not only personal responsibility, but community support and good citizenship.

Amongst the many initiatives run at our school that cater for learners with diverse interests, backgrounds, and beliefs, we'd like to highlight two in particular, with 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆 in mind. Our 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 and our 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 . Read more on these two incredible educator and learner driven initiative that bear witness to the ethos instilled in our HHS community.

“THE LONG WALK TO FREEDOM” by Mnqobi Sithole

Our Grade 12 Class of 2024 recently visited the Nelson Mandela Capture Site in Howick. The article below, written by Mnqobi Sithole who matriculated last year, appears in the HHS Outlook 2023. 

There is one thing I hate about history, and it's the fact that it is... history – it's real, it happened. It is the fact that it's the true picture of our past and the adversities we dared to conquer. That makes it a part of who we are. We can't run away from our history as South Africans because it's no so far behind us at all. Our journey to liberation was long, brutal, and dark, but most importantly it was necessary – Madiba called it “the Long Walk to Freedom”, but ARE WE THERE YET?

Nelson Mandela is one of the most important figures in South African history and the Nelson Mandela Capture Site in Howick, KwaZuluNatal, is an important heritage site that commemorates his arrest in 1962, which was a vital moment in his life and in the struggle against apartheid.

Feedback from the Pitch – Cricket 1st Term Report back

First Team Cricket

This year’s First XI cricket has been led by Trent Woodrow, with Tai Munro and Gabriel Swift as his two deputies. In 50 over matches, played on Saturdays, our team is undefeated with notable victories over Kloof, Howick, and Thomas More! The last victory of the season being the most noteworthy as it was their highest successful run chase of the season.

The team this year is a very close-knit group with a strong contingent of Matrics and Grade 10’s who’ve all made their debuts in the last 6 months, many of them eased into the team with exposure through the Tier 2 W100 tournament last year. The fruits of this have been evidenced in their ability to field well at the higher level.
