Resources: Library display - eco style

Mrs Regaud has made a fabulous display, in keeping with our eco ethos,  to encourage reading this year.

Global and local issues:- Recycling.

Recycling is well under way. Separated waste can be delivered to the Gate at Red Square on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school. 

Our fabulous new recycler Msephi from Wildlands is giving us a rebate on our waste that is being used for green projects. 

He is extremely reliable and efficient and can be highly recommended to other schools in our area.

Community and Heritage: Kindness week

As part of the Kindness Week Project, the grade 7 had to identify ways to be kind to our Earth. As a follow up the children have chosen Eco topics to talk to the prep school about in Eco slots in assembly. 

We are looking forward to hearing about their innovative suggestions about recycling; paper, fuel, water and electricity saving, the importance of trees, eco-wise shopping, Acting for Rhinos and healthy eating.

Community and heritage: Acting for Rhino funds.

Acting for Rhinos brought in just over R35 000 in 2015. In 2014 it brought in R44 000. These funds were donated to Project Rhino KZN who used them to fund Thula Thulas’ Rhino Orphanage. 

This year we are aiming to get even more schools and theatre practitioners’ on board. We received very exciting news from Gisele Turner that Durban’s new iKOH! Puppet festival in February is being dedicated to Acting for Rhinos. 

Our Drama students have started rehearsals for another production of “Who Nose?’ which will be staged in Durban and then in Dublin in September. This show looks at the plight of Rhinos in KZN. 

We are also busy working on a 2017 calendar that features beautiful rhino artworks of our prep children. We plan to sell this to schools and at Game parks to raise funds. If anyone has contacts in the printing game, please contact Mrs van Elden.
