Happy Father's Day!

Our @varsitycollegepandc gave our students a beautiful opportunity last week to celebrate the valuable men in their lives, with our Primary Campus Father’s Day stall for 2026!

Volunteers gave their time to assist our Primary Campus students in choosing the perfect gift, and their smiles were infectious! We wish all dad’s and father figures a wonderful day today and thank them for being fabulous role models and carers for our children.

A special thank you also goes out to @hermannvorstermp for his support at this year’s stall!

Our United Nations Club and Academic Pillar recently collaborated to host our first ever Secondary Campus Book Fair as part of our annual UNICEF fundraising initiative!

Throughout the term our community donated preloved books, overflowing the shelves in the DLC! Students and staff were then able to browse the shelves, purchase books and enjoy a wonderful sausage sizzle!

Overall, we were able to raise almost $2000 for children in need, hitting our goal for the year!
