For every year at Union – all 100 of them – the wonderful support that flows from the community to assist us in making the school a most excellent place has been a constant.
This year at Union has been no different.
In fact, in this, our Centenary year, we saw the community give above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for. When we talk about “community”, it reaches much farther than our school families.
In addition to the parents and the extended family members tied to our school who go above and beyond in their steadfast support of all our endeavours, we are so thankful for the support we receive from our much valued sponsors and the Graaff-Reinet business and farming community.
So many private individuals and businesses in Graaff-Reinet have supported the school this year either financially, or with their time and resources at no cost – something that has been particularly evident this year with the numerous Centenary activities and the larger-than-usual Interschools weekend.
Their contributions of time and resources allow the school to provide learners, teachers, and the entire school community with diverse opportunities and experiences.
We thank them for their continued efforts and dedication. It has been a wonderful experience working with these individuals and businesses this year who truly champion our vision for the school.
We appreciate you and are thankful for your servant hearts.
We’d like to encourage our school community to please support these businesses and individuals in their endeavours.
