Women's Day: Splash of Colour!

On Wednesday, 7 August 2013, Prestige Academy’s first year Event Management Students, under the direction of Mr. CE Mullins, hosted their annual women’s evening at Bellville Civic Centre.

This forms part of a practical component of the subject Events Practice-1. The students catered for 190 women and served canapés, dessert and drinks to celebrate Women. Students had to co-ordinate and decorate their selected tables according to the theme namely'; Splash of Colour. 

The much-anticipated Charmaine Sparrow, from the Laughter Company SA, provided the evening with ample laughter, which was appreciated by all who attended.

Jan-Hendrik Fourie then graced the ladies with his presence, by performing well-known songs from Adele and Frank Sinatra, with great talent and poise.

The students donated a section of the proceeds from the evening, to safe -house Huis Jabes, in aid of the victims of women and child abuse. The other section of proceeds were donated to the Prestige Academy bursary fund for disadvantaged students.   

This event was a tremendous success and, once again, our students left us speechless!
