Lenten Food Parcels

During Lent 2022, the children were encouraged to bring non-perishable food to school. HCPS partnered with a project in Lady Grey where community members exchange recyclable rubbish for food, clothing, toys, etc. The food collected at the school was donated to the project to help the poorer community members exchange rubbish for food.

Reaching Out to COVID-19 Vaccination Centres

HCPS reached out to the frontline workers to thank and encourage them during a very trying time.

Slipper Day Fundraiser for a school that burned down

Learners could wear slippers to school. The funds raised from this initiative were donated to Alheit van der Merwe, a school which burned down and lost most of its office equipment and classroom resources.

Food parcels for the needy elderly

Learners are encouraged to bring 'poor money' to school which was used to buy food. Food parcels were made to distribute to poor, elderly people in the local community.

Sister Bridget handed over a bucket filled with food parcels to an elderly lady.

Children helped with the packing of the buckets. All the buckets were filled with food parcels.

Many buckets filled with food. Many lives were touched by the generosity of the children and parents.

Bottle tops for a wheelchair

The learners were encouraged to pick up bottle tops.

With 450kg of bottle tops we were able to get a wheelchair.

The wheelchair was given to a lady who could not afford one.

Not only her life but the life of her daughters were touched and changed by this wheelchair.
