​​QGHS EMBRACES KNIT-A- THON IN HONOUR OF NELSON MANDELA


Young ladies of QGHS have recently added a burst of colour to their Green and Gold uniforms as they embark on a KNIT-A-THON campaign for Nelson Mandela Day. The young women of QGHS have displayed passion and enthusiasm by taking out their knitting needles to take on this challenge to knit or crotchet 20cm by 20cm squares of any colour that will be added to create blankets.

As the young ladies travel to and from school daily they can be seen with their brightly coloured balls of yarn, gainfully occupied with providing a perfect woollen square with the intention of bringing warmth in the lives of those in need. The QGHS Representative Council of Learners (RCL) has been spearheading this dynamic project to ensure comfort for others during the cold winter period.

We are appealing to the public, parents, grandparents and all those who desire to make a difference and see this project succeed to READ MORE.

NICOLE MAKES A MARK IN WRITING COMPETITION

Our very own Queensburgh Girls’ High School learner, Nicole Deetlefs has made us proud. She participated in a poem writing competition and two of her poems were published in the Grondwoorde 2017.
​
The competition is the brainchild of Wouter Gilgenhuys and is open to learners in Kwazulu Natal.

Learners had to submit a poem in each of three categories and this year the categories were:
Shaka Zulu’s mother; Sheila Cussons; and mother, sister and daughter.
One of the three poems had to be a eulogy. There were 137 entrances from 40 schools. The awards ceremony was held at Durban North College on Saturday, 18 November 2017.

The department of Arts and Culture sponsored prizes and the overall winner received R10 000, while the runners up each received R2 500 and the copy of the anthology. See her published poem in our school library.

Keep it up Nicole and keep writing. Well done!!!!
