Congratulations to our Hip Hop Star: Nazneen

Naazneen's hip hop team participated at the SA Championships (Nationals) in Rustenburg last week. There were over 2000 participants from different provinces in this event.

Naazneen's group "Pulse Injected" won GOLD in their age group under the Hip Hop category and SILVER for the musical 'Michael Jackson' dance.

They are through to the US championships, to participate in Los Angeles in July 2014. 

Congratulations Nazneen, Sagewood School is very proud of you.
