Leading against all odds

When the Class of 2020 entered the school gates on 15 January 2020, their first day as the leaders of Kingsmead College, they had no idea what lay ahead of them. They expected the rites of passage, the leadership opportunities, events, sports matches, orchestra performances and consolidated academic time with their teachers.
They had big ideas on how to make an impact in their various leadership roles and what policies they were going to set out to change, they had just one year to make their mark and leave their legacy. Little did they know that these big ideas would be stalled and that as they left school on Friday, 13 March, it was the last time they would hug their friends on campus and their last school day without masks, concerns around social distancing and the risk of catching the virus that was about to grip the world.
