He has been a driving force behind these achievements, always championing progress with unwavering commitment.
Having first joined the Jeppe Girls family as a parent, Aitchison became an active member of the Parents’ Association (PA), contributing meaningfully to school events such as the Matric Dance, MA Dance, and other community-building activities.
The PA is now led by his sister, Michelle Smith, who continues the family’s legacy of service.
In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, Aitchison was honoured with a commemorative bench and a plaque engraved with the name “Aitchison”, a lasting tribute to a name that has become synonymous with dedication and generosity at Jeppe Girls.
