The Treeside Private Academy in Mbombela once again hosted locals and others from surrounding areas to experience the wonders of the universe, displayed by the mobile planetarium on July 27.

There was also a market day with a large variety of stalls selling, among others, crocheted toys and delicious food.

The principal, Terri Sass, said: “It was wonderful being able to welcome so many new faces to our amazing school. The parents and children were given an opportunity to see for themselves what makes us unique. People of all ages enjoyed a journey through the universe in the planetarium bubble. The dome created a visual spectacle, taking everyone on a magical journey through space and beyond.”

The visitors were welcomed by the school’s friendly staff and were taken on a tour, while the children had fun on the jungle gyms and trampoline, all of which are permanent features of the playground.
