It was first held in 2005, whereThe Finkelstiens,Shine4,Melkertkommissie andddisselblom were among the top performers.
Gerhard Steyn also featured in the first annual music festival and was one of the first acts of a group called Vonk. He did not get as much attention as most of the other bands as he was still new to the industry.
Hoërskool Dinamika has its ownsocial network, created byRuan van Heerden in early 2009 and hosted freely on theNing platform. The social network has a small following of which most is old alumni and a few freshmen pupils. The network is open for all alumni to join and was originally intended for the sharing of information in the Afrikaans language.
The network shut down on Friday August 20, 2010 due to Ning closing all free accounts. Since then, several students and alumni requested for it to be reinstated. The Namies Online network restarted on its own .net server on 19 September 2011, choosing to useElgg software - anopen source solution.
