KNYSNA NEWS - Back at it again. Oakhill’s annual Food Evening and Fashion Show left everyone astonished, where the true Oakhillian spirit was embraced and shared with all the friends and family that came out to support.
From the food to the fashion, the students demonstrated and unlocked a distinct side to 'The Joy of Learning'.
Cuisine across continents
A festive spirit was in the air with each continent making its feature in Oakhill School's quad - the SRC Food Evening was underway. The Grade 8s started us off in Italy for some mouth-watering pasta. The Grade 9s then not only indulged us in a selection of curries, but also traditional Indian dancing.
Flying all the way to America, the Grade 10s embodied America's style of being big and bold with an array of burgers and hotdogs.
The Grade 11s transported us to Mexico with a build-your-own Nachos Bar and finally, the matrics made sure there were sweet treats to compliment all the delicious dishes from around the world.

Fashion show across the eras
The journey didn't stop there and we were taken from a tour around the world, to a trip in time, where the fashion show strutted us through the eras. To start the show, we were taken all the way back to the 1940s, followed by classics from Tina Turner, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.
The show then headed into the early 2000s with the Spice Girls, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and ended off the night with today's hits from Beyonce, Dua Lipa and Jack Harlow.
The models each embraced their era bringing the runway to life, with both their amazing strides and stunning outfits. And we can't forget our fabulous hosts Taryn Jansen, Matthew du Plessis and Wandu Kondlo, who kept the audience at the edge of their seats.
The matric boys wowed the audience with their incredible dance moves once again, but this year the girls decided to throw their hats into the ring and showcase their moves too. The girls transformed into surfers and bikers from the iconic Teen Beach movie, pulling out all the stops with the song Falling for Ya'.
But coming back to the matric boys; they shined on stage with their performance to It's Raining Men with their colourful umbrellas and stunner moves radiating through the room. The matrics left the audience in awe, prompting thundering applause.
All and all, the Oakhillian spirit was exhibited entirely as the teachers, students and parents banded together to make this night of fundraising for their citizenship projects, one to remember.
A special thank you to the Interact Committee supported by teachers, Ms Baisley, Ms Rughiemer and Mrs Groves, for making the fashion show a major success.
And most importantly, enormous thanks to our local clothing stores Crush, Diana Loon, De Jagers, Salt, Surf Culture, Tiger Lily and Two on Toast for making the superb outfits a possibility.
