Yesterday was World Diabetes Awareness Day! To mark this occasion, we educated Epworth learners on smart snacking during exams with a display of foods and tips on portion sizes. All foods can fit into a balanced diet - it's about enjoying variety and being mindful of portions. Small changes can make a big difference in how we feel and perform!

A huge congratulations to Kirsten and her amazing team for orchestrating a truly beautiful evening to celebrate the Drakensberg Boys Choir leavers! 👏

Crispy shrimp fritters served with zesty lime mayo for starters, tender beef fillet with roasted fennel and thyme butter for mains and for dessert, a sweet treat trio for parents and a special, musical delight for the boys.
