Recognition from business and community leaders placed Creston College at the top of its category this month, with the school securing 1st overall and receiving the Diamond Arrow Award at the 2025 PMR.africa awards.

The event took place recently at the San Lameer Resort Hotel and Spa, where organisations across sectors were evaluated based on independent research.

Rated by decision-makers

The PMR.africa awards draw on surveys conducted among CEOs, business owners, senior managers and government officials within the region. These respondents assess institutions on performance and reputation, to name but a few criteria.

Creston College achieved the highest rating in the Leaders and Achievers category, earning the Diamond Arrow Award, PMR.africa’s top accolade.

The school noted the significance of the result, describing it as ‘Outstanding Achievement – 1st Overall’.

Four consecutive recognitions

This year’s outcome extends a consistent run.

Creston College confirmed that the 2025 award marks its fourth consecutive PMR.africa recognition, reflecting sustained visibility within the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast education sector.

Because the awards rely on external feedback rather than internal reporting, results indicate how institutions are viewed by the broader professional community.

A milestone for the school community

The school acknowledged the collective effort behind the recognition, stating that it reflects the contribution of staff, learners and families across the campus.

It also extended thanks to PMR.africa and to those who participated in the survey process.

With another top ranking secured, Creston College continues to feature prominently among schools evaluated in the region’s annual awards programme.
