Drakensview Primary was ablaze with colour last week when Heritage Day was celebrated at school.

The learners were encouraged to come to school dressed to observe their culture. Many of South Africa’s cultures and even some from neighbouring states were represented.

Looking at all the different types of attire amongst the learners and staff, it can safely be said that Drakensview is a good reflection of the Rainbow Nation.

Later in the day the school was entertained with a variety of cultural dances, poetry and prayer.

The purpose of Heritage Day is to remember the cultural heritage of the many cultures that make up the population of South Africa and to learn about the cultures we live alongside.
