Fundraising Our goal this year was to have FUN while fundraising R180 000 towards the upgrade of WGJS. Thanks to everyone who supported and participated in the various events over the year. We have done very well to almost reach our target and are eagerly anticipating our Family Fun Day which we are certain will help us in achieving this goal. Thanks to all the parents, grandparents, and extended families of WGJS who swipe their Makro and MySchool cards and contribute in this manner. Several key events were held during the year to ensure that the girls had fun along the way. Picnic We started the year off with a picnic on the WGJS mini astro. The picnic was open to all grades and each family brought their own picnic goodies along. The event was enjoyed by all the families that attended, and it was wonderful to see the families and learners getting to know one another as the first term got into full swing. Next year this will be even bigger and better than ever before, be sure not to miss this social evening of seeing old friends and making new ones. Grand Raffle This year, we had a Grand Raffle which had over 30 amazing prizes from weekends away to gift hampers and vouchers for various activities. We were overwhelmed by the number of tickets that the Wynberg families sold. Thank you for your support and congratulations to all the winners! Pizza Day What better way to end off winter than by having a Pizza and Civvies Day. This year we sold close to 600 pizzas. We are sure they were thoroughly enjoyed by those that purchased them. Thank you to Debonairs Plumstead for once again ensuring our families all received their ordered pizzas before the end of the school day. Mrs Wendilee Melle 91
