Class of 1986 unites to donate 300 chairs and computer to Westridge High School
Westridge High School's Class of 1986 made a donation to the school.
The Westridge High School matric class of 1986, who have kept in touch over the years via their dedicated WhatsApp group, has banded together to raise funds in support of its alma mater.
According to one of the organisers, Steven Goosen, the initiative came about while they were contemplating how they could give back to their high school.
“We were chatting along on the group when someone mentioned it, and we all immediately jumped on the idea,” says Goosen.
“Someone mentioned chairs for the assembly hall and, before we knew it, a supplier had been sourced, and contributions from Westridge alumni were streaming in from all over the world.”
Goosen adds that, in addition to the 300 chairs, they also managed to procure a new computer for the school.
“We are hoping that this initiative will inspire other classes to do the same.
In this spirit, we challenge the Class of 1987 to also step up to the plate and give back to the school that gave us so much.”
The donation took place on August 21, when the brand-new chairs and computer were officially handed over to the school.
