JP Erasmus, the school’s director of sport and culture, said the concert was held annually to raise funds for the school’s basic needs.
Last year’s involved learners aged from grades RR to three while this year it was the turn of the grades fours to sevens to strut their stuff on stage.
Each class from the grades four to seven had their own choice of dance and songs. The entire dance also allowed each learner a chance to dance in front so that their parents, fellow learners and the audience can see them,” said Erasmus.
The learners’ energetic performances had the audience clapping along. Township dances were particularly popular.
