An EXTRA 2022 FUNDRAISING RESULT-
CRICKET PITCH/LONG JUMP INSTALLED!
Last year we raised enough money to fund the installation of more efficient and hygienic drinking taps around the school, which is a project still in progress, but also had enough to contribute to the installation of a long jump pit and cricket pitch down near the bottom playground. Students will be able to use this for Phys Ed lessons as well as playtimes. With your support we raised more funds than anticipated and combined with the school which brought forward the timeline on this project. This is another excellent example of our community efforts supporting the students!
