Bishops Prep donated R1500 to The Shine centre


Kathryn Torres with Mr Greg Brown, the head of Bishops Prep, handing over a cheque.
Bishops school donated R1500 towards our Sponsor a child campaign. They held a Civvies day in our honour. The money that the Bishops prep raised will sponsor a child for a year and a half on the Shine programme. I was able to do a small presentation in assembly on our Shine centre programme, and told the children about 'a day in the life of ' a typical child who attends our school. The contrast can often be a stark one to our own experiences, and it gives us all food for thought.
It is wonderful to see so many of our more privileged schools having a social responsibility, and this manifests itself in so many wonderful schemes that the various schools in and a round Cape Town get involved in.
A BIG THANK YOU TO BISHOP'S PREP. Thank you to Mrs Kieswetter, the Bishops Librarian for thinking of us in the first place, and for Mr Brown for agreeing to a Civvies day in our honour!
