Floreat Primary School is a non-fee-paying

school located in Steenberg, Cape Town. The

students who attend Floreat come from very

impoverished homes in the surrounding area.

SACS has been involved in an Outreach

Programme with Floreat for the past five

years.

The SACS FLOREAT partnership revolves

around the following programmes:

The SACS Prefects serve as mentors for the

FLOREAT Prefects. A visit to the SACS campus

by the Floreat Prefects will take place

towards the end of the first term.

Floreat Primary runs a feeding scheme where

they provide their students with a meal every

day. For many of these students this is the

only meal that they receive for the day. We

would like to resume with the collection of

non-perishable items from Monday 13

February 2017. Specific items are allocated to

each Tutor House. Items can be dropped off

at Room 34 (Mrs Parker’s classroom) where

they will be delivered to Floreat on a monthly

basis.

Suggested foods are as follows, but are by no means a complete list:

Pasta Long Life Milk Canned foods Sunflower oil

Soup Mix or Soups Milo Baked Beans or Sweetcorn Tuna, Sardines or Pilchards

Lentils or Split Peas Nesquik Rice Peanut Butter

Sugar Beans Sugar Canned Tomatoes Jam

(Co-ordinators : Connor Greenwood; Matthew Hayward; Nishen Naidoo and Jack Zimmerman)

Please support this very worthy initiative so that we can make the first delivery on the 14th March. Thank you to all parents and SACS men for

the support shown for our Floreat Outreach Programme in 2016.

There has been an indication that not all parents have received school

fee statements for 2017.

Please be advised that these statements were emailed to parents on 2

December 2016, together with all financial information and debit

order forms. The email addresses these documents were sent from

were either finance1@sacollege.org.za or finance3@sacollege.org.za.

Please check your email and notify the Finance Office should you have

not received your statement.

The cricketers compete against Bellville High School and the water

polo players against Wynberg Boys’ High School this weekend. The

First Cricket Team play at 9:30am on De Villiers Field (H) and the First

Water Polo Team at 11:30am (H).

The U14A water polo players are currently participating in the Dave

Pitcairn Cup and this tournament will conclude on Sunday. The First

Cricket Team will also play in the Somerset College T20 Festival on

Sunday at 8:30am.

We wish all players, teams, coaches, supporters and parents an

enjoyable and busy weekend of sport.

Yours sincerely
