ART AND POETRY COMPETITION
Encouraging a love for music
The City of Cape Town is celebrating Heritage Month. Our theme is ‘My City, My Heritage – Celebrating our Diverse Culture.’
MELISSA PAPIER
PUPILS at Hazeldene Primary School in Portlands were given a brief introduction to music last Friday when the South African Army Band Western Cape visited the school.
Young, aspirant artists and poets are invited to enter the competition and tell us what our theme means to you. Categories: Poetry Junior Section – Grade R to Grade 3 Middle Section – Grade 4 to Grade 7 Senior Section – Grade 8 to Grade 12
The visit was done in conjunction with Kia Motors, the Cape Town Military Tattoo and SA Army Band Western Cape, who handed over gifts to the school. Major Charles de Cruz, producer of the Cape Town Military Tattoo, tells People’s Post that he believes music is a tool which could reach children on all levels. “Music is a way of life and it instils discipline in children. The defence force is very involved in the community and we have various capabilities. There are mothers and fathers, who have children, and we want to show the community that the army is not just about fighting wars but we are also peace-keepers,” says de Cruz. He added that it was important to teach children about life in the new South Africa. Pupils were given an introduction to music and an idea of the different types of instruments. They were given a “quick” short course on music.

The pupils were shown the different types of instruments In return, the school’s drill squad treated their visitors to a display. Pupils were also given a chance to conduct the band and to play some of the instruments of band members. The children were thrilled by the beats and the music of the band as many stood up and danced to the music. Eugene du Plessis, the dealer principal for Kia Motors, Table View, tells People’s Post that Kia is committed to the development of schools. Du Plessis says: “The organisation takes the development of children in the community very serious as they are the future leaders of the country. We want all children to succeed in life.” Du Plessis explained what the organisation was all about. He encouraged pupils to finish their education. All the pupils received a stationery pack from Kia Motors. Matthew Blaaw, the principal of the school, thanked the band for their time and Kia for their generous donation. “The pupils at Hazeldene are very fortunate to have such great people involved in the school,” he says.
