Kiara Nirghin (2017)

We are exceptionally proud of past student of St Martin's - Kiara Nirghin. Kiara has been featured in the March-May 2017 edition of Forbes Woman. Kiara has also been granted a scholarship at Stanford University in the US.

Kiara has also been featured in the news on the City Press website:

At just 18 years old, Kiara Nirghin from Johannesburg has achieved what most people take decades to accomplish. She forms part of the new wave of Generation Z, a generation that has been born into a world of smartphones and devices. But Nirghin doesn’t just fit the mould of being technologically savvy. Her love for innovation and fostering change in the world is what led her to becoming the winner of the 2016 Google Science Fair and Community Impact award, for her innovative scientific method to assist drought-stricken regions across the world.
