With gratitude, I reflect on a remarkable year at Edenglen High School. Our learners and staff have made us proud, embracing academic, cultural, and sporting activities with enthusiasm.Extra-murals have returned to pre-Covid levels, with our new multi-function Astro-court enhancing sports like netball, tennis, and hockey. Cultural participation thrived in drama, chess, choir, debating, and visual arts.Governance remains a priority, and despite increased departmental reporting demands, we continue to uphold transparency and sustainability. Our solar panels, borehole, and water tanks have significantly reduced utility costs while ensuring uninterrupted operations.We celebrate our past pupils, including Olympic silver medalist Akani Simbine and Grammy-winning artist Tyla. A special highlight was the reunion of alumni from the 1980s, attended by past students, teachers, and the school’s first principal, Mr. Syd Gosher, who was moved by our choir’s performance of the school song he wrote.Honours Evening was an emotional moment as we celebrated our top Grade 12 learners before their final exams, and we anticipate outstanding results once again.A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team—Deputy Principals, Management, Educators, and Staff. Together, we look forward to an even greater 2025!
