Sindi said that the standard of work is extremely high; one needs a minimum of 60% to pass a Subject and she is required to take Mandarin as a subject. Sindi will be returning to South Africa to practice medicine once she has completed her studies.

Ntokozo Phungula I completed my matric at St Nicholas in 2017 and was awarded the DUX 2017. I went on to do my Bachelor’s degree in Medical Science: Physiology at UKZN and recently graduated in May this year and it was an amazing journey.
I am currently pursuing my Honours degree in Medical Sciences: Medical Microbiology. So far, it has been wonderful and the exposure to laboratory medicine is overwhelming. I’ve had the opportunity to conduct some supervised research on HIV as part of my research project for the year.
My whole experience in Medical Science has been great and I will forever be thankful to St Nicholas and the teachers for laying a foundation of interest in this field, especially Mrs Townsend who taught me Life Sciences. All the work she put in and her words of encouragement are very helpful. Every day in the lab I’m reminded of the days we would have our practical assessments with Mrs Townsend and how much that has helped me in easily grasping some of the techniques we use.
I am hoping to explore more opportunities within Medical Science and broaden my knowledge in the future.
