Many hours of planning and preparation went into the Entrepreneurs day. Stalls of all shapes and sizes were erected to sell a wide variety of products. Greasy fingers and satisfied smiles were the order of the day, while our Grade 7’s learnt business skills and raised funds for their imminent tour.

Saturday, 24 August found our First Soccer Team participating in Bergview’s soccer tournament. KEHS played three games. The first was against Ixopo, who arrived late and so the game was forfeited. The next game was against Bergview, which we won comfortably, 6-0. We played Focused next, beating them 1-0. This pushed us through to the finals against KC. The teams drew, 0-0. However, in the penalty shootout, KEHS emerged as the overall victor and winner of the tournament. Honourable mention must be made of Yanga Ntoyanto who was announced as the overall player of the tournament. Well done boys on some stylish footwork, as well as excellent teamwork. Soccer as a sport is making great strides forward in KEHS.
St Monica’s hosted an excellent day of athletics at KEHS on 22 August which showcased the local talent. KEHS won the interschools’ event comfortably and our learners received many awards.
