“We usually host one fundraiser every term, and this term’s fundraiser was Cake and Candy with a Winter Wonderland theme. The money raised goes back into the school as we continue expanding and buying properties to improve the school for our learners. The fundraiser would not be possible without the support and involvement of the school community,” he said.
