CAPE TOWN-The learners at Perivale Primary School had fun reliving the days of District Six during their annual concert evening.
The school held their play on Saturday 27 September at their assembly hall, said spokesperson Nicky du Plooy.
“For decades, our school has been a beloved institution in the surrounding community, thriving on its commitment to nurturing local talent and academics. The school’s annual concerts were legendary, with parents beaming with pride as their children took centre stage.These events became an integral part of the school’s tradition, fostering a sense of community and celebration that defined the Perivale spirit,” she said.
This year’s theme was “Learners in the spotlight” and it allowed the various classes to showcase their talents with a diverse range of dance performances set to energetic tracks, Du Plooy added.
“Parents could enjoy a fun and engaging experience with regard to the concert. The learners have been working hard during practises. It was a celebration of the learners’ talents, their teamwork, and the confidence they have built throughout the term. It also gave parents the opportunity to see the effort and dedication that has gone into preparing for the concert.”
Grade 4 learner Chleo Rudolf said it was thrilling to perform in the concert.
“It’s nice even through we did not have a lot of time to practise. We managed to get our dance routine in order. We were practising even though we were writing term-three exams, but I am sure we did well in both the exams and the concert.”
Fellow learners Fatiemah Taliep and Rachel Makuvire said they were both very excited for their concert performance and couldn’t wait to show off their dancing skills in front of their parents and the rest of the school.
Grade 2 learner Zahnia Barghus said: “I felt excited, brave, quite shy to dance in front of my parents but I felt calm too.”
