Top award for SAHETI matriculant

Byron Vos, SAHETI School’s top matriculant of 2009, who achieved a full house of ten distinctions, has been awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s scholarship at Wits University. This prestigious award goes to the top ten students nationally who register for first year study at Wits and covers tuition fees for their entire undergraduate degree. It is the top award at Wits, and will be presented at a formal function to be held at the Vice-Chancellor’s residence in March.

   

The top performers in SAHETI High School’s annual inter-house gala  were: Dimitri Yiannoulakis (junior Victor Ludorum), Federica Scalla (junior Victrix Ludorum), Stefania Scalla (senior Victrix Ludorum) and Branko Kostic (senior Victor Ludorum).

   

 

The recent rains did nothing to dampen spirits at SAHETI Primary School’s annual inter-house swimming gala. The top performers were Andreas Dellas (Victor Ludorum), Alexandra Loffstadt and Eleni Thomadakis (joint Victrix Ludorum). Eleni also took the award for the most outstanding achievement.

 

 

   

SAHETI’s team for the Midmar Mile swim numbered over 50, the biggest group of all the Gauteng schools.  The team’s first swimmers home were Manoli Yiannoulakis (29.03 minutes) and Daniella Klonarides (30.56 minutes) in the age 14 – 30 event, and Dimitri Yiannoulakis (29.36) and Katia Sarris (35.15 minutes) in the under 13 event.

   

By word of mouth

 Two teams of Grade Seven learners participated in the recent Public Speaking Festival. These proficient orators were awarded an A+ and an A respectively. Their topic was based on the first line of a nursery rhyme. Each of the eight learners’ rhetoric was commendable, as they extended their topics with research and quotations, displaying the hallmark of true SAHETIANS! Our congratulations to Kelly Bosman-Jansen, Anna Chrysostomou, Elia Roussos and Chasley Zervos as well as Pano Baltsoucos, Kyriacos Ioulianou, Eleni Pouroullis and Mariangela Scremin.
