That's a wrap on My School Rules!
My School Rules has officially wrapped. It was a week filled with school spirit, talent and fun! Here's a recap of how KZN schools showed up and showed off.
It’s officially a wrap on My School Rules 2025 and the experience was nothing short of incredible.
We travelled far and wide to find the best school in KZN! Our journey took us all the way north to Avonford Secondary School in Phoenix and down south to Port Shepstone High School and Menzi High School in Umlazi. We ventured inland to visit the students at Pietermaritzburg Girls' High School and wrapped up our trip at Durban High School.
Each school brought their incredible talents, unbreakable spirit and their undying passion for their schools, making this a journey to remember. A huge thank you to the headmasters, teachers, and students who welcomed us with open arms and gave us memories to last a lifetime.
Missed out on the action? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! Check out our official My School Rules Wrap-Up and relive the unforgettable highlights from our week-long tour across KZN.

Obviously, she won.
Head girl, Zemvelo Phewa, claimed victory in 'Teen Trivia Showdown', scoring a perfect 10 and winning R10,000 towards her school fees. It’s safe to say the girls ate it up and left no crumbs.
Day 5: Durban High School
The grand finale took place at Durban High School – the birthplace of some of the greatest athletes in South Africa – and boy was it grand. The young men of DHS showcased the true personification of unity and brotherhood. We were treated to some smooth jazz by their incredible band and a war cry that was such a vibe that it stuck in our minds even after leaving DHS.
Sakhi Shibe was the final contender of 'Teen Trivia Showdown' and he put on an unforgettable show as he scored a colossal 11 out of 10, winning himself R10,000 towards his school fees.
We don’t know about you, but that’s the true definition of greatness.
