Having a school full of achievers is something that we are all really proud
of. At Trintyhouse Schools, we are particularly blessed with kids that are not
only achieving great things but who are learning amazing life lessons and
inspiring others around them to reach for greatness. Here are some of our
golden boys and girls.

Craig, you know everyone is
proud of you but when were
you most proud of yourself? The first time I got a
gold medal and being able to compete in Nothern
Gauteng colours. I never thought I would be able
to do it, but with Mom, Dad and Coach Thabo’s
support, I did it!
What is the most difficult move you had to do?
A front flip on the high bar. To perfect it, I just had to
keep trying and never give up.
What is your ultimate dream? I want to go to the
Olympic Games, but I know that will take hours
and hours of practice, and I still have many levels to
compete in before I can get to that level.
What do you do with all your awards and medals?
I have hung them up in my room and my grandad is
busy building me a special display cabinet for them.
What do you do for fun? I love to watch TV! I
also enjoy playing soccer in the park and playing
badminton with my Dad.

MELOKUHLE DLAMINI
School: Trinityhouse High Palm
Lakes
Grade: 11
Going for Gold Achievement:
Selected for the all-star team
for Pietermaritzburg 7s Rugby
League.
What has been the highlight
of your rugby career? It was
when I made the Rugby 7s team
as a Forward. I was so happy.
What is the most difficult
thing about rugby? Getting tackled! Sometimes you can
get hit really hard. Luckily I haven’t had an injury and I just
have to be faster than the defence!
What do you love about rugby? I love the teamwork
involved. We all work so hard together to win and when
we do it’s the best feeling
What are you known for? I’m known for scoring tries and
for being one of the strongest members of the team. I
may not be the fastest, but they battle to take me down.
What is your ultimate dream? I want to play for South
Africa.
Who is your inspiration? I think Brian Habana is amazing!
I’ve watched him play since I was young and have always
looked up to him.
What has ruyby taught you? Rugby has taught me not to
be selfish; you have to work together and pass the ball so
that together you can win.
