Stanford Lake Gr 9 learners tackle 7-day hiking and kayaking challenge

Quick read Gr 9s from Stanford Lake College completed a 105km expedition called In the Footsteps of Legends. The 7-day journey included hiking, paddling, camping and moments of personal reflection. The expedition started in Sekororo with a 10km hike and 840m climb to Christmas Plateau. Learners camped in villages, bathed in mountain streams and saw part of the 1838 Louis Trichardt road. Learners shared skits linking their experience to school values and did guard duty at night. Full story below. Full story POLOKWANE – Gr 9 learners from Stanford Lake College recently spent seven days travelling 105km hiking and paddling in an expedition called, In the Footsteps of Legends. The expedition started in the village Sekororo with a distance of 10km and an 840m climb. That evening, they camped at Christmas Plateau. The rest of the week followed with different distances, uphills and downhills. The group had the opportunity to experience a refreshing mountain stream bath. On the third day, the group set up camp in Mankele Village next to the Olifants River. Some other memorable moments include a sightseeing of a section of the road that Louis Trichardt built in 1838. On the last two days, the learners had to do guard duty, where they had to manage the beats and the duty roster. At the last camp, the hikers took part in Solo, where they had the chance to reflect on all the privileges they have, as well as their gratitude. The groups had to perform two-minute skits with the exhibition as the topic, and they had to cover at least two school values. On the fourth day, the expeditioners exchanged their backpacks for rafts and river gear and paddled 10km to Loerie Camp. The next three days, the learners paddled almost 60km. On the last day, the learners had to paddle to Thsabaleshoba village facing rapids such as Rent-o-kill, Double Trouble, and Rollercoaster. Deegan Davis, one of the participants, says the expedition was phenomenal in every way. 'From the amazing views to the nights when we could see the city lights, everything was spectacular. My favourite moment was one morning when I woke up and the sun was peeking through the mountains to create the ultimate best view.' Juliet Leher also participated. 'Kayaking was not easy, but it was worth it, and while you would fall in the water every once in a while, you would always come out stronger than you were before. Plus, hot chocolate always tastes best after a long hike.' At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!

Wetsuit drive brings waves of hope

Young surfers from Wave of Hope shone at the recent Ugu District surfing trials for the South African Junior Champion team. Senzo Shange, coach and project leader of the Genesis Wave of Hope Surf Ministry, said the group – Zamokuhle Gcaba, Esam Nyembezi, Enhle Nyembezi and Angel Ngwane – did well in all their heats. 'The group of aspiring surfers are now waiting for the results to see if they made the team to compete in Jeffrey's Bay.' Senzo thanked his assistant coaches, Samkelo Tshezi and Kwanele Lushaba, who play a huge role in guiding and training them. This winter, Wave of Hope is collecting wetsuits and wax for surfers between the ages of 10 and 17. Wave of Hope is a project of Genesis Hope South Africa that aims to support young teenagers in communities, by teaching surfing. The team is out in the ocean all year round, building the community and disciplining young surfers. But, winter brings cold water and young surfers don't have wetsuits to keep them warm. Do you have a wetsuit that you no longer use? Drop-off is at Genesis Youth Centre in Port Shepstone until the end of July. Contact Senzo on 078 7142289.
