Curro Oakdene hosts a successful fun day

Curro Oakdene recently hosted an unforgettable Inflatable Fun Day, attracting over 500 attendees to Hoërskool Die Fakkel in Forest Hill.

The event was a shining example of community spirit, bringing families, local businesses, and the broader community together for an action-packed fun day.

The event featured an impressive array of inflatables, including three thrilling water slides, as well as exciting activities courtesy of B-Active, such as mini soccer, netball, tug of war, and a laser maze.

According to Robyn Pearce from Curro Oakdene, the event was the brainchild of executive head Melvin Govender, who sought to foster community engagement through shared experiences.

“Our teachers, learners, and parents deserved a well-earned break,” said Pearce.

The event also provided a platform for local vendors to showcase their wares, from handmade crafts to mouth-watering cuisine.

This not only provided variety for attendees but also allowed the school to support local entrepreneurs and showcase their talents.

“We are proud to have created an environment where everyone could connect, have fun, and support one another,” said Pearce.

Attendees enjoyed a diverse range of food options, including traditional South African fare, halaal specialities, and sweet treats.

Boerewors rolls, chicken burgers, chip stix, potjies, curries, oxtail, samoosas and spring rolls (halaal), waffles, ice cream, candy floss, biltong, and pancakes made up the menu on the day.

Curro Oakdene extends its gratitude to Clare van Zyl from Yum Yum Tuckshop for her invaluable contribution to the event’s success.

The school declared the event as a great success.

“Both parents and learners had an amazing time and created lasting memories. The success of this year’s event has inspired us to make it an annual occasion. Look out for another fantastic day in 2025,” said Pearce.
