We launched our first and biggest fundraiser for the year at the assemblies in the week of 31 January 2022. At only R50.00 per ticket our prizes were quite encouraging.
First Prize: R10 000.00
Second Prize: R5 000.00
Third Prize: R2 500.OO
Bonus Prize #1: Weekend away at Champagne Sports Resort (Drakensburg) kindly donated by Mrs L. Dixon.
Bonus Prize #2: 1 night stay at The Town Lodge (Johannesburg, Airport Hotel) for 2 people, breakfast included. Kindly sponsored by Mrs A. Hickman-Steel.
Sponsors also include Georges bakery, Mrs C. Demosthenous, Mrs C. Hinstridge and Mrs V. Verrall.
Mr. Paddy the Leprechaun visited our RPS learners all the way from Ireland. He brought about much excitement and encouraged very healthy competition. He was a rather mischievous fella and hid his alicebands and gold coins all over our School. At least he rewarded the children who returned his lost items with a tuckshop voucher or a little treat. He shared some trendy dance moves and hilarious jokes with the learners at RPS. Most importantly, he shared his catch phrase – “ SELL ….. SELL …. SELL”.
On March 16, we held our closing ceremony for the term 1 fundraiser. We celebrated in true RPS style and awarded the prize winners and class winners their well deserved prizes.
A special thanks to all of our sponsors for donating prizes and vouchers! RPS appreciates your generosity and continuous support.
A big, heartfelt thank you to our wonderful parents for supporting our first fundraiser in 2022!
We exceeded our target of R 220 000.00 !! These funds are raised for the betterment and upgrading of facilities at our School.
