There is a lot of “making” happening at Selborne.
Drawing, painting, building, experimenting, refining and trying again.
For two days, we get to pause and celebrate the ideas, imagination, curiosity and persistence behind that work.

The Selborne Primary Art Exhibition brings together artwork from boys across the school.

Join us in the school library on Tuesday, 13 October at 15:00 for coffee and conversation with East London-based artist Nathan Sanan, exploring creativity and the place it holds in our schools, homes, lives and city.

Come. Look. Discover. Be inspired.

From Komga to the mountains of Hogsback, we travelled to the University of Makhanda, made our way through Gqeberha for a stop at Pizza Hut and to watch Bafana Bafana take to the field, journeyed through the Addo Elephant National Park, headed all the way to Cape Town to watch the Springboks and finally made our way back to Kugompo City! 🇿🇦

With a full hall of excited parents, incredible songs and countless smiles, our Pups brought their adventure to life on stage. 🐾
