Tour Students,
A few of you have asked me about accepting donations to take to South Africa. While we do need to start thinking about collecting these items, we have not had a place to store them… until now. I have spoken with Property Services at the school and they have kindly offered us a 2m x 2m space in the P&C shed (next to the school car park on Doveridge Drive) so we can stack and store items until our departure in April.
We are looking to take with us donations of the items listed below (provided they are in good condition), so please pass the word on to your local sporting clubs.
- Football boots
- Netball shoes
- Matching sports shirts (team shirts)
- Sports equipment (bibs, pads, balls, etc.)
- St. Stephen’s School clothing
If you would like to donate any items from the list above , please put them in a plastic bag to protect them from moisture (and any little critters) and you can drop them off at my desk in the Yr. 7 Staffroom. I have arranged for Property Services to open the shed during our lunchtime meeting on the 22nd of November so we can transport a majority of the items that currently have from the staffroom to the shed. Of course, we are happy to accept donations beyond this date, so feel free to bring them in!
Check out how happy were children were to receive the donations:

Steven has kindly received a full set of junior soccer shirts from one of his relative’s school (He is a PE teacher).There are some old dockers football jumpers in there as well. From his Aunty we have a lot of different bibs, however they do not have the positions on them. These have been donated by her school.
Fantastic news! We are happy to accept these for the South Africa tour.
