DIAMOND AWARD

DIAMOND AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE

    In 2012, Sarisha Chetty made history for Danville when she was placed first in South Africa among Quintile 5 schools.

    As a result of Sarisha’s achievement, Danville recognised the need to create a new award – the Diamond Award for Excellence. This new honour is now awarded to past learners & educators in recognition of exceptional achievement.
