Zineddine and Aicha Mengouchi from PEPPS are justifiably thrilled with the trophies they received for their top performances at the recent Bosveld Kunstefees.
POLOKWANE – The preparatory learners from PEPPS once again showed that this English-based school is more than geared to compete in any activity or challenge presented to them.
At the Afrikaans Bosveld Kunstefees recently the learners once again participated in the second language division and triumphantly scooped a host of accolades.
These are all the learners from PEPPS who achieved triple plus A’s (A+++) at the recent Bosveld Kunstefees for their performances. Aicha Hassim, Rami Kola, Gift Ogwu, Rozaan Korf and Ava Hillary have good reason to be extremely proud of themselves.
Among the many triple plus and double plus A’s, the talented learners also collected two other awards.
PEPPS head girl, Aicha Mengouchi, was selected as the 2017 Bosveld Kunstefees overall winner for learners from Gr 4 to Gr 7 in the second language division.
Her sibling, Zineddine, also received a second language top honour for learners in Gr 4 and Gr 5 for his formal poetry (formele poësie) performance.
