Kingsmead celebrates Goodwill Day
ROSEBANK – Community members made their way in numbers to Goodwill Day at Kingsmead College with all proceeds donated to the college's community engagement partners.
The Kingsmead community came out in their numbers to the college in Rosebank to celebrate Goodwill Day.
The day started with a Walk in Colour and the rest of the programme was jam-packed with exciting activities for the entire family.
According to the director of the service at Kingsmead College, Jenny Venter, “Goodwill Day is an annual highlight on the Kingsmead calendar and is a day of celebrating our community engagement partners and the school’s birthday. The entrance fee was a bag of gently worn clothes donated to Clothes To Good.”
Venter added that the college invited visitors from Fight with Insight, Rays of Hope and Guild Cottage to enjoy the day with them and participate in marimba workshops. “The many opportunities to support our community engagement partners included donating hair for A Few Grey Hairs, feeding bunnies from The Bunny Hop Haven, boxing with Fight with Insight, supporting the SANBS blood drive and enjoying the Courage arts exhibition,” Venter said.
Other organisations that were represented on the day included Park Care, JAM, The Society for Animals in Distress, Dignity Dreams, Mina Foundation and Community Hours.
Venter said the senior schoolgirls played an active part in Goodwill Day, with each grade taking responsibility for various activities. These activities included carnival games, a haunted house, stalls, a tea garden and hosting partner organisations and visitors on the day.
“All funds raised are donated to our community engagement partners,” Venter said.
