Celebreting Heritage Day

On the 27th of September 2023, Sibusisiwe High School came alive with a vibrant celebration of Heritage Day. The event showcased the rich diversity of the school, as both students and staff proudly donned their traditional attire, representing a kaleidoscope of cultures and traditions.

The atmosphere was one of unity and cultural appreciation, as the school community came together to honor the unique heritage of each individual. The day served as a wonderful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural roots, fostering understanding, and promoting harmony within the school and the wider community.

Sibusisiwe's Heritage Day celebration was a resounding success, fostering a sense of pride and belonging among all who participated, and serving as a beautiful testament to the richness of South Africa's cultural tapestry.

A prestigious award has been claimed by three students from Sibusisiwe Comp Tech High School.

Three students hailing from Sibusisiwe Comp Tech-High School in Umbumbulu, located just outside of Pietermaritzburg, have secured the prestigious Step Up 2 A Green Start Up National Youth Entrepreneurship award.

Their victorious business proposal centered around the production of environmentally-friendly coal derived from Marula nuts. Recognizing the environmental concerns associated with conventional coal as an energy source, they decided to create a more eco-conscious alternative.

Zanele Khwela, a member of the award-winning team, expressed her belief that the judges were impressed by their idea due to its potential to supplant the conventional coal industry and its positive impact on the community in various ways.

The trio of Grade 11 students claimed the top position, earning a range of rewards, including scholarships, tablets, a seed funding of R20,000, and an exciting journey to Silicon Valley.

The Step Up 2 A Green Start Up National Youth Green Entrepreneurship Programme is administered by the youth development organization Primestars. Over the course of the last eight years, it has empowered nearly 100,000 young individuals, demonstrating to them that they possess the ability to make a positive impact on both the environment and the job market in South Africa. This is achieved by turning environmental challenges into new business prospects.

Martin Sweet, the Managing Director of Primestars, emphasized the importance of equipping the youth with skills and competencies essential for creating their own businesses and becoming valuable employers in a circular, restorative, inclusive, and eco-friendly economy as a means to combat the high unemployment rate.
