Grade 11 learners Owami Madladla and Karabo Malekana attended the 61st Annual Youth Leadership Course, hosted by the Rotary Club of Port Shepstone, from 27 September to 3 October.
Joining 68 Grade 11 learners from across the province, Owami and Karabo took part in a week of leadership development, teamwork, networking and skills-based activities. The programme included team-building challenges, entrepreneurship and business sessions, personal development, sports, creative activities and community outreach, including a beach clean-up and a visit to Genesis Hope.
Adding to the programme was our very own Mr Garth Jackson, who presented a session on Artificial Intelligence, giving the learners an opportunity to explore the role of AI and its applications in the modern world.
A key lesson for Karabo was that leadership is not about โmeโ, but about โweโ, with Rotaryโs motto, โService Above Selfโ, highlighting the importance of leading through service and supporting others.
The week gave Owami and Karabo the chance to grow in confidence, make new friends and learn valuable leadership skills that they can use in their everyday lives and share with the wider school community.
