From the flute to the piano to the alto recorder, Adria van der Merwe, seems to have her feet planted securely on the ground as a Miss Earth South Africa Regional Semi Finalist.

Adria matriculated from Collegiate Girls’ High School in 2012 and is currently in her final year at NMMU doing her BMus degree. Besides studying music Adria is a model with Extreme Models and also represents the agency as Face of Extreme.  Being a Miss Earth SA, Adria decided to give back to her high school, Collegiate, which helped her to grow and develop into the young woman that she is today.  In doing this, Adria decided to plant a tree on the campus as a symbol of this growth.
