Hi-Q, a subsidiary of Goodyear, visited Inxiweni Primary School in Thembisa on January 29 to donate office furniture, teaching equipment, fridges, and other essential materials aimed at improving the school’s learning environment.

It was not the first time the company supported the school.

Previous donations included boardroom furniture, classroom desks, and chairs.

As the school’s need for resources remained, Hi-Q continued its commitment to ensuring a well-equipped learning space by expanding its contributions.

The company also assisted with the school library, improving its structure and management, much to the satisfaction of both the donors and the school’s leadership.

Hi-Q managing director Sean Harrison expressed his enthusiasm for the ongoing partnership with the school.

“As a subsidiary of Goodyear, which has been supporting this school since 2020, we became involved two years ago, and it is an honour to return,” said Harrison.

“Education is crucial to the future of this country, and these teachers are shaping tomorrow’s leaders. We believe this donation will contribute meaningfully to the school’s development.”

Harrison added despite economic challenges, Hi-Q remains committed to investing in education.

“Every visit here feels like a journey, and seeing how happy these learners are makes us proud to be part of this school.

“While we know your resources are often limited, we will continue to support the school’s growth and development,” he said.

Teachers and School Governing Body (SGB) members also expressed their gratitude. They noted how the new furniture enhanced classrooms and supported a more effective learning environment.

During the visit, Hi-Q representatives toured the school to assess the impact of previous donations, finding them well-maintained and in excellent condition.

From quality desks to improved equipment, the contributions from Goodyear and Hi-Q have played a significant role in enhancing the school facilities, ensuring a more comfortable and productive learning space for both teachers and learners.
