Reach for your slippers day at Parklands College
On Friday 3rd August Parklands College participated in Reach for a Dream Foundation's nation-wide "Reach for your slippers day". Learners and staff were encouraged to come to school wearing their slippers for a donation of R10 per person. In total we collected R8567,00. The money will be used to fulfill the dreams of terminally ill children.
Well done Parklands!

SALT Light Bags
During the month of August the Parklands College Secondary school will be filling SALT (Sharing Abundant Life Together) Light bags. Each class representative has been given a few bags and are encouraging their class to fill as many as possible. Her are the contents needed to fill each bag:
2.5kg white mealie meal
410g peanut butter
500g rice
500g brown speckled beans
2x1kg samp
1kg sugar
500g salt
200g savoury soya mince
Each bag feeds a family of four for a week. HIV patients at local clinics are given these food parcels because they need to take their anti-retrovirals with a meal.
Last year Parklands College Secondary faculty filled approximately 100 bags and this year we would like to double that figure. This year we have called upon the Interact Clubs of Tableview and Milnerton High to help us reach this target of filling 200 bags.

Mandela Day at Parklands College
This year the staff and learners were asked to suggest ways to celebrate Mandela Day.
A novel idea came from one of the grade 11 classes. They handed out free coffee to the public.
Most of the classes are collecting clothes for the poor. However, grade 9K are collecting R67 from each learner in their class. The money will be donated to Lerato's Hope. For more information go to www.leratoshope.org.za
The staff are knitting baby blankets and jerseys for premature babies at children's hospitals and homes.

Santa Shoe Box Project
On the 24-26 October 2012 the PCOS and Parklands College Interact will be collecting clothes, toys and goodies for underprivileged children. The gifts will be packed into a decorated shoe box and handed over to the Santa Shoe Box Project.
In order to prepare for this project we request that learners and staff start collecting empty shoe boxes and bring them to school.
This will be the first year that the PCOS and Interact are participating in this project. We hope that it will become an annual project.
