South Africans celebrate Heritage Day on September 24 and remember the diverse cultural heritage that makes up the beautiful nation of South Africa.
Grade 4 English teacher Kerry Horwood said, “In the same way, as South Africa is referred to as the Rainbow Nation, the learners and teachers at IR Griffith Primary School proudly consider ourselves to be a Rainbow School. We are privileged to have learners with rich and varied cultures, beliefs and traditions and on Heritage Day, everyone is encouraged to wear their clothes to show this off. “
