Greater Shepparton Secondary College celebrated Africa Week last week, with festivities kicking off on Monday, May 20.

Students from all year levels and backgrounds were invited to participate in and enjoy the rich cultural showcase, which included daily activities such as concerts, hair braiding and a vibrant fashion show celebrating traditional dress.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit captured the electric energy of the mini concert held on Thursday, May 23 while GSSC’s Kasey Moseley documented the festivities as they took place around the school throughout the week.

Here is what they captured both in photos and footage.
