The school chooses five community-orientated organisations to thank them for the extra mile they walk for the Richards Bay community, and spoils them with a delicious milk tart, homemade by Maria du Toit.
This year, the NSRI, SAPS Waterwing, Netcare The Bay Hospital’s emergency room staff, Dr Otto’s veterinary practice and the ZO benefited.
