The Grade 8B Class had a fantastic day on Saturday 9 September with classmates and educator Mr Aktas .

They spent a fun filled day at Galleria ice-skating and go-carting. For many learners, it was a first time experience to ice-skate but they soon got into the swing of things.

The day was a good class bonding experience outside of the classroom. Thanks goes to Mr Aktas for a wonderful day!

"Faith without hard work, is dead" - Julia Sibiya

On the 29 August 2017, four students from Star College, Aditi Sookdhaw, Siyamthanda Ndlovu, Seyuri Naidoo and Yashoda Maharaj, represented the school at the first Wonder Women in science breakfast. Five successful "wonder" women, Sinenhlanhla Sikhosana, Refilwe Mafokeng, Alaika Kassim, Julia Sibiya and Brenda Moodley, were chosen for their contributions to the world of science. They enlightened us on their journey to success. Each passionate, pioneering and persistent heroine in science emphasized, that hard work and passion are the key ingredients to the recipe of victory. They are worthy role models in society and we as the female youth of South Africa should emulate their tenacious and determined qualities. In addition, schools invited to the event were given an opportunity to submit an essay based on the title: "How would you use Science to benefit your community?"

Star College is proud to announce that Seyuri Naidoo, a student in grade 10, won the best overall composition and was awarded with a certificate for her accomplishment. A scrumptious breakfast followed and lead to a fruitful meet and greet. We were honoured to engage in conversations with many deans, lecturers, fellow students, and leaders in the fields of Science, Engineering and Agriculture.

The wonder women in science breakfast was ultimately, a phenomenal experience. The most valuable lesson learnt is that triumph is not achieved through doubt, however it is achieved through perseverance, optimism and faith.
