Greenstone warms up the community
The Greenstone winter drive has come to an end . Thank you to all the customers who so generously donated blankets , non-perishable foods as well as clothing to the centre ’ s annual drive . The purpose of the drive is to bring awareness to people who need help especially during the winter months as the cold nights can be brutal . The initiative also brings the Greenstone and surrounding community together in a common goal and that is to help those in our neighbourhood .
The items were donated to the The Khanyisa trust ; a daily soup kitchen in Edenvale . The kitchen and is supported by other churches as well as various corporate companies in the area . They serve two meals a day to 180-200 people and also facilitate the administration of the employment service and Khanyisa training projects . The home was identified by the marketing team who visited during the annual winter lunch provided at the Methodist Church hall where the evident need for more assistance was seen .

St Andrews news
Using the Shakespeare ’ s comedy A Midsummer Night ’ s Dream as a spring board , the St Andrew ’ s School for Girls senior drama students told a South African story that is relatable to all , Midsummer Mzanzi . There were lots of laughs throughout the rehearsal process however , there were moments of seriousness where the cast and crew would discuss current issues and how we can make our country a better place for all .
The # 44daysagaintsracism movement which commenced on June 15 aims to raise awareness about racism and other forms of discrimination in our country . St Andrew ’ s School for Girls has taken the initiative to be a part of this campaign . As integrity , grace and community are core values of our school community , a few grade 12s of 2017 hosted a quiet sit-in , in solidarity with fellow South African youths , as means to reflect on the future of our country and what it means to be a South African .
