Hoërskool Roodepoort recently hosted one of the school’s most cherished events, Mr and Miss Roodie, where learners proudly showcased their confidence, leadership skills, charisma and enthusiasm.

According to the school’s marketing officer, Aletheia Louw, this year’s theme was eco-friendly, which encouraged learners to be creative, think out of the box and design their costumes using recyclable material.

“This much-loved event brings learners together to showcase their individuality, talent, and pride in being part of the school community.”

She said this is more than a competition; it highlights character, leadership, and the unique qualities that make each participant stand out.

“The winners will not only hold the title but will also play an active role in assisting with various school projects and initiatives throughout the year.

“They will serve as ambassadors of the school, helping to promote school spirit, support events, and contribute positively to the wider school community,” she added.

Talique Cannel was crowned Miss Roodie Senior alongside Atang Motlhale as Mr Roodie Senior. Kaira Stainbank was crowned Miss Roodie Junior, and Refilwe Mokojwa Mr Roodie Junior.
