St. George’s Prep

It feels like Christmas every time. We can’t wait for SPS – we look forward to seeing what’s coming, and that’s just us as adults, waiting to see what we can disseminate to our classes. Teachers are not often beneficiaries in terms of gifts. It’s exciting to receive – it gives us a boost, and we appreciate their steadfastness and commitment. They have a very good pulse on what kids like. I don’t know who advises them. There’s always something new. Thecontributions are twofold.

The donation programme supplies basic materials that help for the smooth running of our classrooms – it’s wonderful to have these in abundance. But the second is where this programme shifts, in that it’s specific items, extra supplies that schools do not generally have money for in large amounts, such as games. Games are expensive. These products are helpful for creating a really engaging classroom, helpful for kids who learn differently. These are the ones we’re really excited for. It’s all the public primary schools, which speaks volumes, and this act of generosity takes so much coordination. These things do not happen overnight. Another good thing about it is its longevity. Programmes come and go – it’s hard to keep going – but SPS continues to champion for us.” – Principal
