Nolands spots young talent! Then vs now.

In 2018, Nolands Ballito proudly sponsored the Curro Salt Rock Top Achiever Trophy for the top Grade 7 mathematics student, a trophy that was awarded to Brian Heeley. Fast forward to the present, where the matrics of 2023 recently received their Final Matric Examination results.

Nolands would like to congratulate Brian Heeley, who aced his final exams with flying colours — 8 distinctions later and an impressive 86% overall average! 🎓🌟 Later this month, Brian will be attending the Curro Top Achiever Awards as one of the top students in the country.

Although his academic path steers away from auditing, we wish Brian all the best during his tertiary education journey, pursuing Mechatronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University.
