Care to Learn is a new concept recently launched by The Ridge School.
The purpose of the initiative is to provide learners the opportunity to serve and be served by people that may be different from them in either status, age, class, race, gender or any of the ‘isms’ of society. The day is set aside in the school calendar to provide pupils with ample opportunity to interact on a meaningful and deeper level with pupils from a designated institution in that term. This is done with the hope of cultivating friendships and breaking down prejudices and, as such, widening the boys’ world view.
“Salvazione Christian School was a natural choice for our first Care to Learn day, and it proved to be a fun-filled, yet, evocative day. As one walked through the two campuses one saw engaged and happy children, full of hope for the future and what it held in store for them,” said Joe Kotwal, director of marketing at the school
He added that the teachers and a few helpful mums were also hands-on, making sandwiches, organising and supervising activities, but most interesting, getting on with the job at hand and fulfilling their vocation.
This event is an annual one.
