Rand Park High School held its glittering annual Mr and Miss Rand Park pageant on 4 August.
The Superheroes-themed pageant had contestants from Grade 11 and 12 competing for the top spot.

The runners-up were Tashan Chetty (1st Prince), Micah Forsythe (1st Princess), 2nd Prince Trystan Neville (2nd Prince) and Samantha Thomas (2nd Princess).
Each contestant selected their favourite superhero and had to walk across the stage and catwalk that hero’s outfit, followed by a ‘Paris walk’ and formal wear sequence.
The judges selected five girls and five boys to proceed to the final round of the pageant which included a question and answer session.
The pageant judges were Marlene Spies of Figures Talent International, Angela Perdichizzi of Ticia Group and Miss Plus Size South Africa 2017, and Michelle Bradshaw, an actress and voice artist.
