Fourways High School

Matric Dance 2018 (Editorial by Mrs. Rabe)

There is one night of the school calendar that every matriculant awaits with eager anticipation: the Matric Dance. It is an evening where young gentlemen and ladies grace the red carpet in dashing suits and scintillating dresses in celebration of the twilight of their school career. The Matric Dance of 2018, themed around an African Sunset, did just that: from the beautiful décor and the ever-popular photobooth, to the delicious food and exemplary skills of the DJ. The matric learners quite literally had a ball. The smile and laughter was contagious, and the dance floor was full from the start of the night to its end. Heartfelt gratitude is extended to all the organisers and service-providers in making this event such a grand success!
