Jars Of Hope

As part of our Nelson Mandela 67 Minutes Challenge, we are launching our next Eco Challenge: Jars of Hope. Learners are encouraged to fill a reusable jar with rice, lentils, stock powder, and soup powder, simple ingredients that, together, can provide a nourishing meal for a family of four. This challenge reminds us that even a small act of kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone's life. By reusing jars and donating these essential food items, our school community will be honouring a legacy of service while bringing hope and support to families in need. Every jar counts, and together we can make our 67 minutes truly matter.

Endangered Animals Civvies Day

Our recent Civvies Day was a wonderful success, with learners arriving at school dressed as a variety of endangered animals from around the world. From majestic cheetahs and playful African penguins to powerful rhinos and sea turtles, the colourful costumes helped raise awareness about species that are facing threats such as habitat loss, pollution, and poaching. This day reminded us of the important role we all play in conserving our planet’s precious biodiversity for future generations.

Endangered Species civvies day

Our school is hosting a Civvies Day to raise awareness for endangered animals and the importance of wildlife conservation. Learners are encouraged to come dressed according to the theme of endangered species by wearing animal prints/colours, or creative outfits inspired by animals at risk of extinction such as rhinos, turtles, pandas, or tigers. This fun and educational event aims to inspire students to learn more about protecting vulnerable species and caring for the environment. Through participating, learners can show their support for conservation efforts while celebrating the beauty and diversity of wildlife around the world.

Beach clean-up Initiative

Our learners  took part in an exciting and meaningful beach clean-up on 16 May, where they worked together to help protect our beautiful coastline and marine life. Equipped with gloves and refuse bags, the students collected litter such as plastic bottles, wrappers, and other waste that can harm sea creatures and pollute the ocean. The experience taught learners the importance of environmental responsibility and showed how small actions can have a big impact on keeping our beaches clean and safe. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to caring for the environment.

C.R.O.W Collection

Our school community is proud to support C.R.O.W. through a special collection drive. Every donation, big or small, helps provide comfort and care to wildlife in need while teaching our learners the importance of compassion, conservation, and community involvement. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in protecting South Africa’s incredible wildlife.

World Endangered Species Day

World Endangered Species Day is a powerful reminder that many of our planet’s incredible animals, birds, and plants are at risk of disappearing forever. From majestic rhinos to tiny sea turtles, endangered species play an important role in keeping Earth’s ecosystems balanced and healthy. Our prep school students can help protect these amazing creatures by learning about conservation, reducing waste, and supporting efforts to preserve natural habitats. Every small action can make a big difference in safeguarding our world’s precious biodiversity for future generations.

To celebrate this special day, students are encouraged to take part in the World Endangered Species Poster Competition! This is your chance to use your creativity to raise awareness about endangered animals and inspire others to care for our planet. Look out for the information poster around the school or in the library or look out for the next post...
