Change A Child's Life

UNITED Through Sport Senior School of Excellence beneficiary Chadleigh has got a bright future ahead of him. He has just finished his final year of high school at Alexander Road High School in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa, where he has been a top academic achiever all year round.

He has been a beneficiary of United Through Sport’s programmes for the past five years and crowned his high school career when he received several awards, including being announced the School Dux (top learner) at the school’s awards ceremony.

Chadleigh was a co-winner in the Senior Maths Relay League in 2018, and his team participated in the Nelson Mandela University’s Rocket-building Competition where they won first prize.

He was also part of a team who competed in MINQUIZ, against schools from around the Eastern Cape to answer questions about Mathematics, Physical Science and general knowledge. His team won the platinum division, while Chadleigh achieved the highest marks in the in individual written division.

For the second year in a row he also came in the top three of his age group at the annual Rhodes University Mathematics Experience (RUME). He scored second overall in the Grade 11 to 12 category after completing a mini-Olympiad (20-question maths competition) during the RUME. Chadleigh is no stranger to performing well at the RUME competition, as in 2017 he came first in his age group during the mini-Olympiad. Combining the two years’ scholarship prizes, he has accumulated almost R100 000 worth of tertiary tuition scholarships from Rhodes University.

His parents, Andrea and Neil, motivate him to always do his best and are extremely proud of his most recent achievements. When he is not studying, he enjoys playing tennis, squash and chess.
