For the second year in a row, Drostdy Hall won the Residence/Hall of the Year category at the Annual Rhodes University Community Engagement Awards, held on the 01 October 2025.

Extract from the Awards Gala Dinner Booklet:

Drostdy Hall is recognised for its outstanding student leadership, organisation, and commitment to meaningful community engagement.  A shining example was the student-led pageant, coordinated and delivered entirely by students.  What made the event especially impactful was that the pre-schoolers from Noncedo were the participants, gaining confidence, joy, and a sense of belonging.  The pageant also raised over R3000, which was directed towards enhancing Noncendo's learning environment, reflecting Drostdy's commitment to sustainable partnerships.

In addition, students worked with Noncedo Pre-School on initiatives linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  A Spring-Cleaning Day taught children about healthy, clean spaces (SDG 3:  Good Health and Well-being).  Planting flowers promoted care for the environment (SDG: 15: Life on Land).  School readiness activities addressed early learning and literacy (SDG 4:  Quality Education).  Through these efforts, Drostdy Hall Students have modelled empathy, reciprocity, and socially responsive citizenship.
