The suburb’s preparatory school recently hosted some of the country’s legendary musicians.

Auckland Park Preparatory School hosted a music picnic day on 8 July and music legends Claire Johnston and Zolani Mahola graced the stage with their memorable and entertaining performances.

The picnic is an annual event at the school and this year’s edition was as successful as the school hoped for it to be.

Youngsters from the school along with their friends and family enjoyed the musical sets of Johnston, from Mango Groove fame, and Mahola, lead singer for Freshly Ground.

A lucky group of grade 7s and their talented music teacher got to share the stage with the Freshly Ground star as they performed as her backing band – a truly unique and exciting experience for the schoolgirls.

The school’s music director Alison Gericke said, “What an honour to have two of SA’s most iconic female musicians making music with our girls!”
