PS Secondary raises R12 388 for charity
The Young Ambassadors' Programme led by South Coast Hospice and the Rotary Interact Club drove three major fundraising initiatives – Happy Feet, Sprayathon and the Butterfly Project at Port Shepstone Secondary recently.
The Sprayathon garnered much appreciation. Learners paid to have their hair sprayed in bold colours, the organisers were left richer for the experience to co-ordinate and work as a team, while still raising money for hospice.
All proceeds were donated to hospice towards their palliative care services for those in need.
The Butterfly Project included several mini fundraisers to raise awareness for Mental Health Awareness Month in May.
The Young Ambassadors adorned themselves with an item of green, in keeping with the month's theme.
The club executed their duties with enthusiasm by selling green butterfly ribbons, raffle tickets, bringing a plushie to school tickets (this was a means of advocating for comfort when struggling with mental health), and photographs could be taken with the huge butterfly wings lent to the school by hospice for the event.
Another popular fundraiser was Happy Feet by the Rotary Interact Club, where students bought tickets to use 'anything but school shoes' to school for the day.
The SPCA was the worthy recipient of the proceeds from this drive.
Overall, R12 388 was raised for charity.
The school gained a new motto for the month: Be positive. Be change. Be green.
