Bechet High ARROWSA

shine at  the finals of 

Ethekwini Abasha Bash Passbook Competition 2016


Led by Bechet High educator Bhekithemba Dlamini the group performed their devised programme on the theme 'Freedom is not for Free' at the Westville Civic Centre in June 2016.  The participants said it was an unforgettable exciting experience to be able to perform on such a big stage in front of a large audience.


In the July school holidays the Bechet Abasha Bash learners visited Ethekwini Local History Museums: Cato Manor; Old House and Bergtheil.  At the museums they had their 'passbooks' stamped as part of their participation in the Ethekwini Abasha Bash Passbook Competition.  They wait with great anticipation to hear the results of the competition at the Prize Giving in September 2016.
