Staged in the Sanlam Auditorium on the campus in Potchefstroom on 30 and 31 August and on 1 and 2 September, the much-loved musical Fame was a thrilling, unforgettable feast for the senses.
The creative team responsible for Fame, namely members of Artéma, Alabama Productions and NWU Potch Arts, took the audience on a glorious journey filled with great performances by talented performers who included students and lecturers.
Alumna Nacia Kruger directed and choreographed this exciting production, while Pieter de Bruin, the artistic director of the Artéma recording studio, was in charge of the music. A nine-piece orchestra provided the accompaniment.

Winter school
shapes tomorrow’s leaders
Every year, when Mahikeng finds itself in the icy grip of winter, hundreds of matrics converge on the town for a life-changing learning experience presented by the NWU.
As has been the case for the past decade, this year once again saw the winter school supporting Grade 12s. The programme was presented in partnership with the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) and the *Sci-Bono Discovery Centre from 1 to 11 July 2017.
Through this partnership, the NWU hosted 1 200 learners from schools in districts managed by the GDE and learners from in and around Mahikeng.
A learning experience to remember
Besides being a marketing tool for the university, the programme also offers learners a real in-depth learning experience from some of the best professional teachers in each subject and introduces learners to university student life.
The winter school programme offers tuition in all commerce and science-related subjects, and provides a detailed subject manual guide to assist learners in their self-study and preparation for their trial and final examinations.
*The Sci-Bono Discovery Centre is a world-class science centre that supports mathematics, science and technology education and offers innovative, dynamic learning experiences that contribute to building South Africa’s capacity in these fields.
