Grades Six and Seven learners at Laerskool Randhart were commended for creating art with charcoal and water droplets.

The sector contributes nearly 3% to the GDP, almost as much as agriculture, making it a significant source of jobs.
“These artworks show technical growth and how we teach young artists to see the world with a sharper eye. Your creativity and artistic ingenuity take our breath away,” the school added.
