Prep School celebrates diversity
AUCKLAND PARK – Pupils reflect on their school’s isiZulu-focused evening.
By Lucy Wagner – Grade 6
The isiZulu Fireside tales was an enjoyable event for all. Our outreach school, Salvazione School in Brixton, together with The Ridge School in Westcliff and St Katherine’s School in Parktown met in Auckland Park Preparatory’s hall for a night of dancing, singing and fun. We made new friends in all schools and interacted with each other. The grades that participated were the grade 5, 6 and 7 girls. We all did amazing shows and loved watching performances from the other schools as well as participating. We each got our chance to shine and it was truly a night to remember.

Die aand van Zoeloe Kampvuurstories was weereens ‘n groot sukses. Weke voor die tyd het almal uitgesien na die groot aand om hulle kostuums aan te trek. Die aand is altyd ‘n baie vrolike geleentheid. Elke graad se unieke items wys Zoeloe tradisies op hulle eie tradisionele manier. Daar word gesing, gedans en gepraat. Mama Ndaba se storie het hierdie jaar vertel van ‘n jong Zoeloe meisie, Nyangara, wat ‘n musiekinstrument optel wanneer sy gaan hout soek. Al die harde oefening was deur en deur die moeite werd. Die ouers in hulle tradisionele klere was baie interessant en mooi om te sien. Ons is gelukkig om so baie kulture in ons land te hê. Dit maak ons lewe baie interesant. Zoeloe Kampvuurstories is ‘n uiters leersame en goeie manier om dit te vier!

Kwakukuhle sisina sidedelana singena ngezigaba zethu zezemfundo. Umama wasesikoleni sase St Katherines usifundele iphoyemu ebhalwe nguye ekhuluma ngokufa kwezwe lakithi nje “Lafa elihle kakhulu”. Lapho ukhulume ngokuphela kwenhlonipho.
Ngaphambi kokuba siqale ngemidlalo yethu siqale ngokuba sidle ukudla esasikuphathe sisuka nakho emakhaya.
Okungihlabe umxhwele kulapho umama Ndaba esesixoxela inganekwane yakhe eyayimayelana nentombazana igama layo kwakunguNyangara nalapho athi angaqeda ukuyixoxa bonke abantu ababelalele basukuma bamshayela izandla.
