\u201cWhen people hear \u2018private school\u2019 they think \u2018expensive\u2019, but that is not the case with us. Instead, my team and I are dedicated to the education of children and making a difference in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

These were the words Heidi Searle, owner of Heavenly Flowers Private School.<\/p>

One such way the school hopes to make a difference in the community is by teaming up with the Greater Germiston Society for Child and Family Welfare in support of its Tekkie Tax Day campaign.<\/p>\n

The school hosted a successful Pre-School Sports Day, last Saturday, at Colin Mann Primary School in Sinclair Road, in Lambton, to help raise funds for the campaign.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Guests were treated to a selection of food stalls while the children were put through their paces in a number of fun and entertaining activities, which included judging a fun-filled mascot battle.<\/p>\n

Other highlights included a dance and kick-boxing demonstration and a water balloon fight.<\/p>\n

Tekkie Tax Day shoelaces and stickers were also on sale to help raise additional funds.<\/p>\n

The school was thrilled with the turnout and everyone had a great time.<\/p>\n

All proceeds from the day will be donated to charity.<\/p>\n

But this is not the end of the school\u2019s contribution to the campaign, with the school planning to continue its fund-raising efforts until Tekkie Tax Day on May 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing forward we would love to make this an annual event and get a lot more schools involved,\u201d said Heidi.<\/p>\n
