Kutloanong Primary gets a Fresh Perceptive
Kutloanong Primary learners will soon be experiencing the joy of the great outdoors as they learn. Hot summers will now be somewhat more comfortable as they enjoy the fresh air under a tree in the local park using new tables and chairs that they will build from materials purchased at the new Cashbuild store. The teachers and learners are all very excited about this as the heat is often unbearable in the confined classroom on hot summer days.
Kutloanong Primary entered the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition and was one of eight schools in Chris Hani that received R12 000 worth of building materials after entering the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition. With the voucher, Kutloanong Primary also plans to renovate toilets and repair damaged gutters.
Kutloanong Primary school teacher Mr. Jabulani Mahlangu says: We are really grateful to Cashbuild because we can make the school and the great outdoors - so much more pleasant for the learners now.
Another of the Chris Hani schools to benefit from the Cashbuild store opening; Zimele Primary, will also use its voucher to help cope with the heat in summer. Mrs Nonhlanhla Ngwenya explains: We cant wait to build our carport on the playground. For a long time we hardly had shade because all the trees were removed, but now we can all enjoy our lunch breaks again.
The total donation of building materials to the value of R96 000 was presented to the eight winning schools at the Chris Hani store opening ceremony on 28 October 2010. At the opening, the school children showed their appreciation by entertaining everyone with cultural dances, theatrical performances and traditional singing.
Learners from each school submitted their best artwork to Cashbuild. This artwork was displayed at the Chris Hani opening ceremony, and will remain on display for the next five years.
Artwork was judged and three winners from each school were named. The winning children received Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver and bronze certificates for first, second and third place respectively. The Managers Choice award was also presented to the lucky winner of the artwork competition.
This award was announced on the day Luvhimbi Kedibone from Nageng Primary School received a R500 stationery voucher and a glass trophy.
At the store opening event there was a lucky draw and one lucky school walked away with a solar geyser and free installation. This prize could ensure that the winning school has hot water regardless of the lack of resources within their community.
