Monday saw a fun afternoon of performances from 10 talented musicians from the Prep and Senior Schools. Each pupil was picked randomly through the use of a spinning wheel, and when the needle landed on their name it was their time to shine!

  • Lavender Field by Japanese composer (and Oscar-winner!) Karen Tanaka, played by John F (L6).
  • Laat Die Wind my Neem (‘Let the wind take me’), an Afrikaans song sung and played by Nic W (U6).
