Keep a look out for the 2019 nomination forms which will be circulated soon

Educators from the participating EEESAY schools nominated learners for the awards and motivated why these learners were selected. There was a first prize and runner-up prize for each province. We hope you will be inspired by these four remarkable young people who are making a difference in their schools. T H E L E A R N E R AWA R D S

I have been a leader in our school business for the last two years. I have gained leadership, public speaking and management skills, and how to be organised. Participating in the school business enables you work with other people and improve your team work abilities as you work together on identifying different ideas you can adopt to successfully run a business. Another side of EEESAY involves the development of your entrepreneurial skills , so if you are a person who wishes to have businesses in the future, you can join the school business and you will not regret it! Njabulo Luvuno – Tshanibezwe High School You can never win a competition without entering it. My teacher entered me and I was thrilled to be nominated. I believe I won this prize by fully dedicating myself to the EEESAY project. To do this I had to cut down on many things. I joined the EEESAY project because I was eager to make changes in the school and the environment. I urge you to join EEESAY as this is the project that will welcome you and open doors for you in your future endeavours! Zenande Bacela – Cathcart High School
