This past Thursday and Friday evening, Union High School, Graaff-Reinet‘s Primary Department (our talented Grade 5 to 7 learners) waddled into the spotlight to perform a delightful production of ๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ฑ๐บ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ต, the musical!
With toe-tapping tunes, our young performers brought the Antarctic to life – complete with dazzling dance moves, heartwarming harmonies and an inspiring message about being true to yourself.

Their ability to memorise lines, perform full musical numbers and embrace the spotlight is nothing short of exceptional!

Our junior choir and marimba band also deserved their moment in the sun (or should we say snow?) โ their performances added rhythm, richness and a touch of magic to an already spectacular production.
