Director of Independent Schools Mosibudi Makhubela highlighted lines from Kenny Rogers’ song Something Inside So Strong during her speech about how important it is for students to always give it their all and have faith that they will be rewarded for their efforts.

“The arts festival is a day dedicated to celebrating and acknowledging other cultures.

“This is the day we encourage students to display their artistic abilities and the beauty of their culture.

“It is also the anniversary of the Group of Schools, as this year marks its 14th anniversary,” said their marketing supervisor Nomsa Radebe.
