During the performance, the school’s Grade R to Four learners learned about five powerful values to live by: Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Brave, Be Bouncy, and Be You. The learners were also encouraged to share their own experiences of kindness, with a few receiving special prizes for demonstrating courage, which is the sixth core value at SPARK.
