Oakhill was delighted to participate in this year’s first ever Plett Arts and Culture Eisteddfod. It gave our students the opportunity to experience the stage and to expose themselves to a wider audience in a friendly and uplifting environment.
Our pupils did exceptionally well, and for the Gala event, ten items were chosen from Oakhill, reflecting the quality of the work produced. Anneke Lamont, Laticha van Wageningen, Gill Teggin and Gavin Bezuidenhout were proud to be the team behind the music pupils at Oakhill.
The Barnyard Theatre in the Crags created a lovely setting for the concert and we take great pride in the positive results and feedback from the organisers and the wider community. Many thanks to Marie Skeen and Tessa Scott for directing the events – we are thankful for the invitation to making beautiful music!
Special congratulations goes to Jana van Wageningen for winning the Versatility Trophy – one of the five trophies awarded at the event.
