Building boost of R120k for eight R’fontein schools
Cashbuild will help eight schools in Randfontein through their Art-at-Heart initiative.
Cashbuild has given eight schools in Randfontein a total of R120 000 in building material vouchers to help them upgrade their premises. The eight schools in Randfontein are the lucky winners of the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition.
These schools will each receive a Cashbuild building material voucher to the value of R15 000 to use for any repairs or improvements needed for their school buildings or grounds. The vouchers will be handed out to all the schools at the Art-at-Heart ceremony at the refurbished Cashbuild Randfontein store on August 11. The children from the winning schools will entertain everyone with singing, cultural dancing, and theatrical performances during the ceremony.
Setholela Primary School and Bulelani Primary School are two of the eight schools that will each receive a voucher.
Setholela Primary School’s principal Nkululeko Ndhlovu said, “We are so happy to have been selected as one of the winners for this prize, thank you Cashbuild. This voucher will be used towards erecting palisade fencing around the Grade R playground, as well as paving the grounds outside of the classrooms in the front of the school to cover the huge potholes.”
The Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition entails learners from each school to submit their best artwork to Cashbuild. This artwork is displayed at the ceremony and remains on display in the Cashbuild store for the next six years.
Artwork will be judged and three winners from each school will be named. Winners will receive Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver, and bronze certificates for first, second and third place respectively. The Manager’s Choice award will also be presented to the overall winner of the artwork competition. This award will be announced on the day and the winning learner will receive a backpack with stationery and a trophy. The winner is also given the honour of officially opening the new store.
The schools that will benefit from the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart donations are:
1. Bulelani Primary School
2. Setholela Primary School
3. Toekomsrus Primary School
4. Hartzstraat Primary School
5. Mohlakeng Primary School
6. Patrick Mashego Primary School
