the Old Harbour before walking or driving the short distance to the Village Square in fancy cars. Making their way onto the red carpet, they were photographed and filmed for the school’s Facebook page before having their formal photo taken in the yellow frame, which had been specially decorated for the occasion.
Approximately 130 Grade 12 learners attended but were not allowed to bring outside partners due to Covid-19 protocols. All decked out for the occasion, the couples met at the war memorial above
Instead of all crowding into one venue, the learners were accommodated at six different restaurants in the Village Square – Lemonicious, Mezz & Co., Fusion, Wooden Barrel, Pear Tree and Paradiso – so they
could still enjoy the evening together while practising social distancing. Each restaurant put together a three-course meal and decorated their tables to ensure that this highlight of every matric learner’s year was a celebration to remember. The Village NEWS wishes all the learners the very best with their final exams which start next month. - Taylum Meyer
