Eisteddfod

ABOUT THE NELSPRUIT EISTEDDFOD
What is the Eisteddfod?
In simple terms an Eisteddfod can be described as a range of music, dance, drama and art “shows” for which anyone may enrol and where individual participants or groups are provided with feedback on their performances by experienced adjudicators in the relevant disciplines. The “rating” of the candidate is then expressed in different “levels” of awards (prestige, gold, silver and bronze) which indicates the participant’s progress in terms of his/her own knowledge, skill and understanding relevant to the particular item.

Who can enter?
The Eisteddfod is valuable to any participant. An important consideration in any project that seeks to develop interest in the arts is that it creates opportunities for participation and exposure from a young age. Someone growing up without any interaction or exposure to the arts and culture is very unlikely to value and appreciate these in adulthood.

Mission
To provide opportunities for all participants to express and develop their talents, build self- confidence, assertiveness and perseverance.

Mnr & Mej Bergvlam
Mr & Miss Bergvlam

Mr & Miss Bergvlam finalists are ambassadors for the school’s value system. They are a beacon of light to the community and to their peers. They learn to think outside the box and to adapt to situations outside of their comfort zone.

Die leerders kry blootstelling aan geleenthede buite hul verwysingsraamwerk, sodoende ontdek en ontwikkel hulle hul menswees. Deur deel te vorm van soveel liefdadigheidsprojekte, word daar ook deernis vir hul medemens gekweek.

Although the evening is known for its glitz and glamour, Mr & Miss Bergvlam is so much more than a beauty pageant. It teaches learners to use their inner beauty to benefit others because we rise by lifting others
