Ferrum High School swapped their Monday assembly for hype and free doughnuts!

East Coast Radio (ECR) kicked off season 2 of My School Rules with a visit to Ferrum on Monday (January 26).

The radio station is touring from January 26-30, broadcasting live from schools across KZN.

Ferrum wasted no time in entering, eager to share talent, war cries and ‘quiz wizard’ Amelie van Niekerk with the rest of the nation.

Teachers and learners alike stood proud as the school displayed the best of what they have to offer.
