The Grade 7 group at
Crawford International
Lonehill Preparatory
honoured their 2020 Matric
class by painting colourful
stones with words of
encouragement for their
Matric examination.
Crawford International Pretoria
Preparatory, Clothes to Good
(C2G) and H&M have teamed
up to create a “Clothes to
Trees” programme. C2G
collect second-hand clothing
from schools, which they
then recycle at an inclusive
facility to make high-quality,
low-cost used clothing bales.
These bales are then sold to
micro-businesses, empowering
people to create business
opportunities. Together we are
making a difference.
Sandy and Lukas (with their Driver,
David) meet some of the Grade 3
pupils and answer their questions.
The children are eager to say hello
and ask their questions.
So many family members
and friends in our community
have been affected by
the “BIG C”. Crawford
International Fourways
Preparatory dressed in pink
in support of the annual
Cancer Drive. The message
of the Pink Cancer Drive was
conveyed to all the children.
We stand to fight for those we
love!
A generous and welcomed
donation of masks and
thermometers arrived
unexpectedly. Heartfelt
gratitude to the YU family.
The generous donation
during a very challenging
time will go a long way
in helping us fight the
scourge of this pandemic
and ensure the health
and safety of Crawford
International Lonehill
Preparatory pupils and
staff.
Crawford International Pretoria
Preparatory celebrated
International Dot Day to
encourage pupils to harness
their creativity. Millions of
people worldwide were
connecting, collaborating,
creating and celebrating all
that creativity inspires to make
a mark, or dot, and move the
world to a better place.
As part of their Unit of Inquiry,
the Grade 3s at Crawford
International Sandton
Preparatory were looking at
how Covid-19 has changed
so many things in our lives,
and the way we do things.
An annual visit from the PADI
(People for Awareness of
Disability Issues) team is a
usual occurrence. The Grade
3s realised that even charity
organisations have been
affected by the Covid-19
pandemic. The way in which
they collect money has
changed and they have not
been able to visit most of
the schools that they would
normally go to. An online
collection was initiated and
the pupils were able to raise
over R5,700 to assist the
organisation. Well done and
thank you, Grade 3s!
Crawford International
Fourways Preparatory pays
tribute to their staff. Teachers
were thanked for their
dedication and excellence in
which they coped with online
teaching. The love and care
they displayed to each and
every pupil is commendable.
Thank you to the STARS of
Teams teaching.
Every child a masterpiece | 61
