BURGERSFORT – As part of the Highlands College career day, pupils were asked to dress up in the clothes they would wear in the careers they dream of pursuing when they have grown up.

On Friday, the pupils arrived in judges’ gowns, lab coats as doctors, overalls and boots as mining engineers and other clothing typical of the jobs people do.

Speaking to the Steelburger/Lydenburg News, school principal Fatima Mahomed said, “I saw a movie star, a doctor, firefighter, an architect and a video game creator among my pupils.
