Somerset West Private School has a history of encouraging a passion for learning and the school is especially proud of its learners’ consistent excellence in mathematics and physical science. A group of its learners did the school proud at the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists. The school’s Eskom Expo for Young Scientists medal winners in the regional competition held at Stellenbosch University were (back, from left) Channing Bellamy (bronze), Joshua Els (bronze), Daryll la Bassé (bronze) and Deidré Barnard (gold).
