Women's Evening : Prestige Academy 2015

Not all of us can do great things.  But we can do small things with great love – Mother Teresa

As with any other women’s evening event, Mrs. Sandra Mostert, Director and Mr. Mullins, Programme Coordinator:  Events, placed their heads together to conceptualise a theme of a trip around the world and finally got to Extra-Ordinary women around the world theme.

As this is an annual event for every first year event management student, this event forms part of the curriculum and specifically the subject called Events Practice 1.  Here, students are required to showcase their theoretical knowledge acquired in a practical manner by conceptualizing their own sub-theme within the event theme.

The audience where embraced by renowned motivational speaker, Ms. Elsabe Aldrich and artist Hugo Nieuwoudt who provided entertainment during the course of the evening.

This year, the Event management team incorporated the SRC – Outreach programme – Growing Love with the event, which amounted to a whopping success. The SRC had an opportunity to showcase their outreach activities and concluded the evening with an Auction that raised more than R5000.  

The SRC would like to thank the following sponsors: 

·    ABSA Student Bureau, Eensgezind, Platinum Hair and Beauty, Distell, Colosseum Luxury Hotel, Devmark Property group and M-Kem City
