Sarel Cilliers hosts stunning Veni Vidi Vedo art display
Local artist Khanya Mbatha displayed his larger-than-life canvases and was on hand to answer questions and give the students valuable advice.
Sarel Cilliers held the annual art exhibition called ‘Veni Vidi Vedo’ (I came, I saw, I see), showcasing the work of the Grade 8 and Grade 9 Creative Arts learners.
There were also various art categories open to the rest of the school, and the standard and quality of the work submitted was outstanding. Judging took place prior to the exhibition, and certificates and prizes were handed out in assembly.
The exhibition was a huge success, with numerous art performances to entertain the guests. This included a live painting performance from Tshepang Mokoena (who amazed the crowd with his black and white canvas), a parade of re-cycled fashion wear, an impromptu live piano performance, as well as all the superb artwork on display.

Many of the educators, as well as members of the local community, also showed off their talent. It was a very enjoyable evening and a great success. Well done to the Creative Arts team. It was a busy sporting weekend.
The Jukskei team went to play in Kingsley near Vryheid in preparation for trials for the KZN team, to be decided later. The Tennis Team went to play at St Dominic’s in Newcastle. The tournament comprised of singles matches for the top female and male player from each school, a doubles match and mixed doubles.

Tristan Swanepoel lost 4-6 to Ferrum. In the mixed doubles Bonga and Meetay drew 6-6 and Siddick and Aphile won 6-0.
