Sunflower Fund Fundraising

Parklands College this year nominated Stacey Ireland as our Sunflower Ambassador of Hope. Together with her committee, Stacey has sold 300 Sunflower bandanas among the learners in the Secondary and Preparatory Schools, organized a civvies day and raised in excess of R1000 and now a cake sale on 16 November during break. The finale is a raffle for a Sunflower cake. At R2 per ticket, this raffle is bound to raise lots of money.

Charity Xmas Wrapping 2012

This is our 9th year of wrapping Christmas gifts for the shoppers of Bayside Mall, Tableview. Shoppers give us a donation (minimum R5) and we wrap their gifts, add ribbons, bows and awareness of the charity of our choice. This year the funds raised will be donated to Boost Africa. This NPO helps poor families of Dunoon to keep their children in school by paying for their fees, stationery, clothes and books. Parklands College Interact learners and staff will be wrapping gifts every day from Saturday 15th until Monday 24th December 2012.

Christmas Party for Dunoon Creche kids

On Saturday 27 October 2012 some of the Parklands College Interact Club members assisted at a Christmas party for Dunoon kids held at Lilliput Pre-primary, Tableview. There were at least 240 kids from 9 creches in Dunoon under the care of Cathy Hartley and her team.






Santa Shoe Box Project

We have collected 50 Santa shoe boxes in the Secondary school and in total 331 across the college. Well done and thank you to all the Parklands College families and staff who gave so generously. We hope to make this an annual project.
