Earlier in April saw the triumphant official launch of Studio ’91 at Parktown Boys’ High School, in front of members of the media, invited guests, Parktown Boys’ Alumni and learners.Brainchild of Nathan Waywell (Matric 1991), Studio ‘91 sees the establishing of a multimedia Creative Studio at the School.
The facility and its equipment has been funded by the Class of 1991, which has amounted to over R350 000 in financial support to build the studio, thousands more in expertise and second hand equipment donated as well as the establishment of mentorship programs for the learners going forward.
Parktown Boys’ High School has a proud cultural tradition and Studio ’91 is a welcome addition to the Cultural offerings to the School.With over 40 learners having already signed up in the first week alone, following the launch of Studio ’91, it is testament to the need for this creative outlet to be provided at school level as an extra-mural option.
Waywell hopes that other schools will similarly pick up the mantle to establish Studio ’91’s across the country.
