The event reflected the spirit of unity and pride that Independence Day inspires.“It was a proud moment, where I got to see how learners celebrate each other’s cultures in a vibrant way,” said Gideon Samwel, a Grade 11 learner who attended the event.Another Grade 11 learner, Sorisha Afrikaner, shared her excitement: “It was fascinating seeing learners come together, embracing their different cultures.”The celebration was more than just entertainment; it was a tribute to Namibia’s history and a reminder of the sacrifices made by the nation’s leaders for the freedom enjoyed today. Through dance, song and unity, learners at Academia Secondary School honoured the legacy of independence in a truly inspiring way.
