Award-winning TV presenter Leanne Manas encouraged learners to use their school years to explore all the activities available to them because one can always discover new talents and interests.

She addressed the girls of St Teresa’s School in Rosebank, Johannesburg, at their first Cultural and Sports Celebration.

The purpose of the event was to acknowledge the contribution of all the girls who regularly participate in co-curricular activities, and share the experiences of the matric committees on arts, culture and sports.

Appreciate the Journey to Adulthood

Mrs Manas encouraged the girls to appreciate the journey on the way to achieving their goals in order to prepare them for an interesting and active adulthood.

She stressed that “being engaged in a variety of activities ensures that we become interesting people”, with the added benefit of being able to discuss a variety of topics in a variety of settings.

The matric students who achieved an award at any level in either a cultural or sports activity throughout high school were recognised with a certificate.
