HILLCREST Corner opened its heart and gave back to the community and donated its Pirate’s Cove jungle gym to the learners at Gillitts Primary School.
The school first opened in 1953 and is located in the Stockville Valley. With more than 60 years of guiding young minds and uplifting those in the Stockville Valley area, Gillitts Primary School has become a pillar of the community. The school has grown in leaps and bounds since 2013 and this is largely due to the outstanding commitment of headmistress, Arti Jadoo, and her dedicated team of educators.
Hillcrest Corner representatives visited Gillitts Primary School to install the Pirates Cove jungle which has already become incredibly popular with the children.
Arti Jadoo said, “We extend our heartfelt thanks to Hillcrest Corner for their kind sponsorship. Having a large number of learners in a grade R class restricts their movement and play which is fundamental to their growth and development, so this sponsorship is truly a blessing.”
The school is currently in need of support after a recent electrical storm. Any building services or assistance in helping replace the computers and the repair of the school’s roof, both of which were damaged as a result of the storm, would be greatly appreciated.
“We welcome any form of assistance in the form of donations, either for the school or for the Stockville community. We are also currently looking for assistance with concreting some parts of the school.” said Arti.
Beverley Wilson, the centre manager at Hillcrest Corner said, “We are proud to have been able to give back to an institution which has been an integral part of the community and hope to make more contributions in the future.”
