The FET Open Evening took place on 29 May. Parents and staff were welcomed with a delightful item rendered by the Music Ensemble. A brief report was given on the different activities in which the FET learners were involved during Term 1 and 2 such as Olympiads, Science Expo, Water Equilibrium Competition, Afrikaans outing and many sport activities.

Mrs Pretorius treated the parents to an inside look at the Adventure Camp with a power point presentation.

To conclude the evening, the parents could visit their children's classes, look at their work and speak to their teachers.

Theme of the IEB Art Competition: Education - The Practice of Compliance and the Practice of Creative Freedom.

The artwork should be inspired by the following quote from Paulo Freire:

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the young generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity
OR
it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."

DSS learners took on the challenge of interpreting text into picture.

The above artworks were selected for entry. The artists are listed below.
