This year saw the advent of the Youth Day Fête: a day organised by the youth, to raise funds for education of the youth,
in a manner that can be enjoyed by all youth. On June 16th the Form Five girls each ran a stall offering services or
goods to the public. Each stall had to present a business plan that proved its profitability and its focus on the youth. The
fête raised R22 000.00 after costs and was hugely successful in providing good, clean fun and games in an inviting
atmosphere.
The leaders of the House partnerships present for a minute on social responsibility to the College assembly every week.
Their position requires that they understand how to share resources and opportunities respectfully and to integrate
into surrounding community organisations. Their integration needs to result in a meaningful impact that supports the
organisation’s aims within its cultural context.
Annually, the partnerships are evaluated and the girls’ impact is monitored to ensure that the time, effort, skills and
finances are invested to the benefit of the partner organisation.
