2022 EISTEDDFOD

On the 22nd and 23rd of September our Summerhill students had the marvellous opportunity to showcase their skills in one of our favourite annual school events – the NEA Eisteddfod. And what a glorious time we all had!

Our Adjudicator, Esmeralda Bihl, famous for her roles in Yizo Yizo 2, Generations, Justice for All, Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond, Behind the Badge and Sorted, caused a buzz of recognition amongst parents, students and even the odd staff member or two. As a seasoned actress with several prestigious awards under her belt, she was well qualified to adjudicate. We were delighted when she expressed her surprise and pleasure at the standard of performances she adjudicated, from the grade 0 classes to the college students. It was high praise indeed to hear our students had a very good level of performance and that the students and teachers could and should be proud of the results of their combined efforts.Congratulations to the following individuals and classes that were the highlight of their respective day and were pre-selected to perform at the NEA Young Performer’s Showcase Awards taking place in early 2023, where they will compete against finalists from all over Gauteng:
