Being good eggs

Camps Bay schools rally for those less fortunate

CAMPS BAY schools banded together last week to make this year’s Easter time special for the less fortunate with their

Easter egg drive.

Three schools around the

Camps Bay area took part in this initiative. Camps Bay

Primary (Grades 3-7), Camps

Bay High School (Grades

8-12), and the Preparatory

Campus of Camps Bay

Primary (Grades R-2), joined forces to collect 10 200 Easter eggs.

The team of pupils then delivered the eggs to many schools, including Holy Cross Primary, Zonnebloem Girls and Zonnebloem Boys primary schools, Prestwich Street Primary, and St Paul’s Primary.

The Camps Bay schools didn’t limit their donations to just schools and included charity organisations in their generosity.

The list of recipients included iKhaya Le Themba, an organisation caring for impoverished orphan children in Hout Bay; Mosadie Gives Back, a soup kitchen based in Mitchells Plain; the Red Cross Children’s Hospital; South Africa Riding for the Disabled; various old age homes and church organisations, and even the Sea Point fire station and Hout Bay police station.

Camps Bay High School principal David de Korte said: “Camps Bay schools are community schools where we develop well-rounded, confident and responsible individuals.

“Service to the community is very important to us and our pupils are actively involved in giving back.

“We hope that this small venture has made Easter a little bit special for those less

fortunate.”
