In March 2021 the City of Windhoek (CoW) ran an awareness campaign to commemorate World Water Day 2021 with the theme “The value of water to the Windhoek Community”.

Learners from primary and secondary schools were invited to partake in an essay writing competition. DHPS´s Grade 8d decided to join in on the competition and handed in their essays.

Within the senior category, where the focus was on the economic influence of water, the environment, water pollution and reclamation, DHPS learner Hanna Carstens was one of the lucky winners and was invited to attend the prize-giving ceremony at the CoW on 16 April.

Congratulations Hanna, we are very proud of you!
