John Wesley School – Eshowe has proudly been an Eco-School since 2005. In 2019 (our 15th year in the Eco-School programme) our wildlife club began their eco-project; building a pond outside the school office. Our learners worked very hard on this project throughout most of the year and completed a fantastic looking pond. A big thanks to Mrs. Basson for leading the project.

At the end of 2019 we attended the KZN Christian Schools’ Sports Association Awards Ceremony at Umdoni Christian Academy in Park Rynie. Three of our learners were given awards.

MPILENHLE XULU received certificates as the RUNNER-UP in U9 GIRLS Cross-country and RUNNER-UP in U9 GIRLS Sportswoman of the Year.

SIMPHIWE BUTHELEZI received a certificate as JUNIOR CRICKETER of the Year as well as a trophy as JUNIOR ATHLETE of the Year and a trophy as JUNIOR SPORTSMAN of the Year.

SIMPHIWE BUTHELEZI (captain) and ANATHI BIYELA (vice-captain & goalie) also received a trophy on behalf of our U13 soccer team which was KZNCSSA JUNIOR Team of the Year.
