Eikendal Primary Golf Day

November 23rd, 2011PhoenixCOZA Posted in My Thoughts | No Comments »

The funding of previously impoverished schools and “migration” of learners who can afford the fees of previously model C schools has left some gaps in the Education sector with regards to funding the basic running costs of certain schools.   The high unemployment coupled with the current economic climate means that we will see the gradual decline in extra mural and ultimately, quality education this school offers due to the inability in maintaining running costs. Please forward the attached advert and information regarding the Golf Day.  

 

“Eikendal Primary School is situated in Kraaifontein, Cape Town.  There are currently 1 183 learners enrolled at the school. The learners come from the Eikendal, Scottsdene, Scottsville, Bernadino Heights, Bloekombos and Wallacedene areas.  Many of these learner’s parents are exempt from paying the annual school fee due to unemployment. This can be attributed to the current financial crisis the country is experiencing. The School Governing Body has to come up with alternative functions in which to raise the deficit. One of these ways is by organizing a Golf Day.

The purpose of our Golf Day is to raise funds to supplement the monthly running costs.  These costs include employee wages and municipal services, telephone bills and printing expenses.”
