Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPSI discovered my love for biology in matric, excelling in the subject and enjoying every topic. The endocrine system fascinated me the most, and exploring how hormones control the body sparked my curiosity and laid the foundation for my future studies in science.
Consumer Studies
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI received a distinction in Consumer Studies in matric and loved the practicals the most—especially because I got to cook and eat the food afterwards! At university, I focused on topics like food intake, nutrients, and minerals, deepening my interest in health and nutrition.
