Thursday 19 September 24: What an amazing term for the Cultural Pillar with extraordinary performances by our thespians and musicians!
Culture
Wynberg Boys’ Acting Association
Our production of the musical GREASE was a resounding success with pupils from both our school and Wynberg Girls’ High School taking to the stage under the direction of Mrs Karg bringing this pop culture icon to life. The costumes, acting and music were of a completely professional standard, and many thanks go to all who put in countless hours of behind-the-scenes work.
Afrikaans Society
The Afrikaans Society picked up their meeting with a “Melktert” making evening and the launch of the Afrikaans play Ou Nuus.
Eisteddfodau
This term saw the drama and music department launching the successful Wynberg Boys’ High School Eisteddfod. Drama monologues and poetry sections yielded excellent results. The music category had sections for all individual instruments and again excellent results were achieved.
Music
The bands and choirs also entered the Cape Town Eisteddfod and the Kaapse Afrikaanse Eisteddfod. Not only did each choir and band earn excellent results, we also earned the following awards:
Cape Town Eisteddfod Medals
Vocal Ensemble: the Jennings/Clinton/Moore trophy for the best boys ensemble
WBHS – Best wind band, Best Steel Band, Best Jazz Band (tied).
Kaapse Afrikaanse Eisteddfod
Gold Medals to Concert Band, Steel Band, and Jazz Band.
Art
Our Art Department received all Diplomas for it’s entries in the Western Cape Art Eisteddfod, while Zaakin Croy, Jack Gouws, and Zachary Bekker were selected to display their incredible artwork in the WCED Rethinking Irma Stern Exhibition. Their work will be on display until 28 September, after which the exhibition will move to the prestigious IZIKO Annexe Gallery.
