THE IIE Vega School in La Lucia celebrated its 21 year legacy with 21 Mavericks which saw third year students showcase their work and campus on Thursday, 21 November.
The event also showcased the Maverick Bulls which were completed in 21 days after principal, Naretha Pretorius, delivered mavericks to her past students who are now working at some of the top companies in Durban.
The hand-picked companies and IIE Vega alumni were excited by this surprise visit, only to realise they have a task to complete; to take the bull by the horns and to creatively express their unorthodox free-range thoughts. They were given 21 days to complete the task.
“This is like Creative Development all over again!” said Martin Pace from Dutch Ink, class of 2009.

Pretorius also delivered to companies founded by Vega alumni and the final delivery, maverick number 21 was proudly handed over to current students, the gold Loeries Award winners, Roxy Schoon, Justine Clyde and Amy Tjasink and the students who came up with the maverick concept Rachel St Leger-Denny, Brett Morgan and Bibi Ayesha Humayraa.

Pretorius explained that the concept symbolised how Vega has produced students that can be described as Mavericks in that they are idea-fed, free from generic solutions and guaranteed innovation.
