TERM 2
In the
President’s Award service sessions girls get the
opportunity to clear any uncertainties regarding the
award and their role as a participant and also get
to gain service hours through various projects.
This term
a group of girls was involved in an ‘Adopt-a-Grandparent’
Project. This group of girls visited Brookshaw
Home during the hour and spent time with the senior
citizens.
Others
remained at school and continued with the Raphael
Center ‘Knit-a-Block’ Project, while yet
others either drew pictures to compile colouring-in
books and others wrote stories for Settlers Hospital
Children’s Ward.
The girls
also believe that charity begins at home, so they
spend some hours doing service around the school.
The term ended with a litter collection spree around
the school.
