ABOUT THE GOLD DIGGERS ASSOCIATION

Fundraising at Dunvegan Primary School is carried out by an elected parent committee known as the “Gold Diggers Association”. The Gold Digger Association involves interested parents and teachers who raise additional funds to improve the quality of our school. While School Fees pay for the general running of the School, funds raised by these people go on extras to the benefit of our pupils. Recent extras include the revamping of all ablution facilities for pupils, the South Wing Classroom block, computers in our computer centre. SMART Boards in selected rooms and the face brick perimeter wall around the school.

The first meeting for 2012 took place on Monday 30^th January in the Staff Room at 19:00. It was pleasing to see we have some parents prepared to give up their valuable time and so make a contribution to improving the quality of education our children will receive. It was also good to see new Grade 1 parents at the meeting too! The Governing Body has set a Target of R220 000.00 for the year – please support the Gold Diggers in their quest.

Office bearers for 2012 are as follows:

Chairperson & Treasurer	Glen Murphy	0741410864	glen@bullseyeproducts.co.za
Vice - Chairperson	Chantal Thomson	0828424557	kwthomson@telkomsa.net

Member	Alan Fourie	0836751284	Polygraphafr@mweb.co.za

Thanks to their kind willingness to do this.

Next Full Meeting: Monday 23rd July 2012 - 19:00 in the Staffroom. All welcome!

ALL parents and new parents welcome, as we are always looking for help and new ideas! The G.D.A. are always very busy so we need as much help as possible.

If any parents are able to assist, or make donations to help raise funds for the benefit of our school, please contact the Gold Diggers with your particulars, via the School’s Front Office or send them an E-Mail. They always need any sorts of Prizes, from children right up to adults.
