2007 was the year in which we commemorated 30 Years since the death of Biko.
We organised two events for the community.
We successfully hosted the Steve Biko Commemmorative IsiXhosa Speech Competition with Rhodes University's African Language Studies.
The competition was open to all Grahamstown High School kids.

The topic was simply on what the scholars felt the relevance of Steve Biko is today.
It was a wonderful memorable day where the standard of language use was very high.
And of course it was good to see all these young people speaking their minds so passionately and trying out their best.
We hope this event can go on in years to come.
The winning speech was by Mandilakhe Tukulu of Victoria Girls' High School.
One 16 September we kept it street-style by holding a street event in Fingo. There was drama, hip-hop, dance and poets. As usual we held dialogues and debate on Biko with prizes given.
