IN a vibrant display of creativity and environmental consciousness, young fashionistas from Riverton Primary School, as well as Elswood and Bellville South High Schools, captivated audiences with their unique runway show, where discarded materials took centre stage.

- WEEKEND ARGUS REPORTER

The event, themed #BeatPlasticPollution in honour of World Environment Day 2025, showcased the innovative designs crafted from what many would consider trash, advocating for a new perspective on waste management.

Hosted at Riverton Primary School in Bishop Lavis, the runway event was a culmination of the hard work put in by members of the Eco-Club, which has been supported by GrandWest and the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) for the past three years.
