High School Ice Skater Shines at International Competition

We want to extend massive congratulations to our Grade 12 student and super-skater Madison DeMink on her huge successes over the past months.

Figure skating is a beautiful and demanding sport (and art!), requiring dedication, passion and teamwork. Madison has shown commitment and effort to get to the top level of this sport, and we are so proud to see it all pay off for her with some superb wins.

In December 2023, Madison travelled to the Czech Republic to represent South Africa in synchronised skating, coming in 7th place with Team South Africa! She has also represented Western Province at the South African National Figure Skating competition, in both Synchronised Skating and Advanced Novice Solo Ice Skating, winning first place in Synchronised Skating, and was crowned the Solo Ice Skating champion for her category!

We are delighted to watch Madison flourish in this sport that she is so passionate about, and we hope she inspires you to work towards your own dreams and passions, whatever they may be. We’ll leave you with a quote from Madison on her online school experience and how Teneo has helped her to manage her rigorous schooling and sporting schedule.
