On Tuesday, 22 September 2026, a group of learners On Tuesday, 22 September 2026, a group of learners from Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School accompanied by Mr. D Reddy had the opportunity to attend the Gandhi Youth Symposium hosted by the Pietermaritzburg Gandhi Foundation at Project Gateway, the Old Prison in Pietermaritzburg. The symposium focused on the theme “Sarvodya: The Wellness of Youth” and provided learners with an enriching and enjoyable educational experience.

The programme featured a keynote address by Dr Suhana Jacobs, a Post-Doctoral Fellow at UKZN, followed by a range of interactive breakaway sessions. These sessions addressed topics that are highly relevant to young people, including wellness and personal growth, leadership skills, education and careers, technology and the future, innovation and entrepreneurship, and the future of the planet.

The learners responded positively to the various presentations and appreciated the opportunity to engage with ideas beyond the traditional classroom environment. The symposium encouraged them to think about their personal development, future careers, leadership potential and their role in addressing challenges facing society and the planet.

The programme concluded with reports from the breakaway sessions, followed by discussions on resolutions and the way forward.

Overall, the Gandhi Youth Symposium was a valuable, informative and enjoyable experience for our learners. It exposed them to a range of important contemporary issues while encouraging personal growth, leadership and responsible participation in society. The school appreciates the opportunity for our learners to have participated in such a meaningful youth-focused initiative.

Sports and Cultural Awards Today, we celebrated o Sports and Cultural Awards

Today, we celebrated our Sports and Cultural Awards, recognising the achievements and dedication of our learners throughout the year.

We were honoured to welcome Julia Trodd (Class of 2014) back to GHS as our guest speaker. Now a teacher and Matric HOD at St Anne’s, Julia shared an inspiring message about being brave enough to take opportunities, embrace change and keep chasing your dreams.

From representing South Africa in canoeing to completing the Comrades Marathon three times, the Dusi, Fish River Canoe Marathon and Non-Stop Dusi, Julia has continued to challenge herself. She is now ranked second in South Africa in HYROX and will represent her country in Hong Kong in both the Individual and Mixed Doubles HYROX competitions.

Her message to our girls was simple: be brave enough to try, be brave enough to fail and be brave enough to start again.

Thank you, Julia, for returning to GHS and inspiring our girls to find out just how far they can go.
