Give an adult in our community a second chance at life by making a donation towards a scholarship at a night school. As they were forced to drop-out of school due to a teenage pregnancy, need to work to support the family or other personal matters, an opportunity to complete their studies would create greater work and economic opportunities.
This program was launched in 2015 as a replacement to our night school. Students can choose to attend the night school of their preference and upon presentation of their school report, they receive a reimbursement of the enrollment fee.
Your donation will go towards covering tuition fees and the costs of monitoring the academic performance of the scholarship recipient. A donation of $10 allows to pay for an entire semester of night school of an adult.
Following the students’ fundraising, representatives from each charity attended a specially planned assembly to talk about their charities and how the funds raised would help support their causes.
They selected Hoffman’s Fund, a Secondary School charity fighting duchenne muscular dystrophy; SPARKS, a children’s medical research charity; and the Wildlife Foundation as their chosen charities.
As part of their annual DUCK week, each year group decided on a different fundraising method, organising activities from discos and games, to face painting and volunteering.
Our wonderful Lower School students were recently visited by three charity representatives after they raised over $2,000 for charitable causes.
