More than a celebration of friendship and love, the day served as an opportunity for the school community to give back and make a meaningful difference.

Grade 3 learners Sanam Vassan Makan and Grace Hooyberg spread love.

In support of Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa (CHOC)’s Flip Flop Day, the Rosies wore their flip-flops to raise awareness and funds for children battling cancer. In addition, our school community came together to collect non-perishable food, cleaning supplies, and toiletry items to support CHOC’s mission of caring for young patients and their families.
