The hard work of the Grade Ten students of Germiston High School paid off, last Tuesday, when they were able to host their annual party for the elderly.<\/p>\n

The school has asked the Grade Tens of each year to raise funds and host the party for the past decade.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

This year the group catered for about 500 people and visited the Avril Elizabeth Home, SAVF Kinross Herberg and SAVF Die Anker in Germiston and Siphutando in Katlehong.<\/p>\n

The school donated a hamper to each of the charity organisations, as well as goodie bags, filled with sweet treats and personal items, for each of the residents.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The pupils had the chance to interact with the people from each organisation, an experience that teaches them valuable life lessons they might not normally have the opportunity to learn.<\/p>\n
