We are so grateful to those parents that have chosen to make donations to our school to assist us in achieving specific objectives which are included in our strategy.  If you are in a position to be able to make a donation and you feel you would like to do this, you are welcome to contact Mr Storey and discuss this.  A Section 18A tax certificate can be issued providing the donation meets the criteria set out for this purpose.

LET’S MAKE WAVES FOR OUR CULTURAL & SPORT DEPARTMENTS!

Get ready for the most exciting fundraiser of the year – the Swimathon is back with a splash! Whether you're a little fish or a seasoned swimmer, every lap counts toward raising funds for our amazing Culture and Sports Departments!

So, dust off your goggles and get ready for a big swim on Wednesday the 19th of March

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Swimmers can be sponsored per lap (Gr R-2 = 12.5m, Gr 3-7 = 25m) or sponsors can donate a fixed amount. Swimmers will have 20 minutes to swim as many laps as possible, so get those pledges rolling in! All grades will complete their laps during the school day on the 19th of March.

CORPORATE RELAY CHALLENGE!

Want to make an even bigger splash? Get a business (yours, a family business, or a local company) to sponsor a lane for R2500, and take turns swimming your hearts out. Teams of four can be adults or kids, but at least one swimmer must be a CBPS parent or pupil. The victorious relay team wins a terms worth of advertising on our prep ex campus wall and an afternoon of Padel for the four team members! Plus, all corporate sponsors are invited to display advertising material in the pool area for the week of the swimathon and get tax certificates for their R2500 donation entry fee.

If you know a business that would love to participate, please contact pta@campsbayprimary.co.za for an official sponsorship letter with all the important details.
