The learners first visited Kenville Primary School before travelling to Quarry Heights Primary School.
“All South African public schools are categorised into five groups, called quintiles. Quintile one is the ‘poorest’ quintile, the school s marketing manager, Kerran Backhouse shared with Northglen News. Our idea was to pay it forward to those less fortunate. For the collection which saw us collect more than 180 blankets, we asked the learners and staff to either donate a new blanket, well-loved blanket (clean and in good condition) or donate money towards the purchase of blankets. It was a small gesture, but its important for our girls to give back to the community,” Backhouse further explained.

DURBAN - MORE teachers have been deployed to Quarry Heights Primary School in Newlands East, after parents shut down the school earlier this week.
Parents claimed some classes had been without teachers since February.
Khethukuthula Jaca, a member of the school governing body (SGB), said shutting down the school had been the last resort for parents as they had previously used all channels of communication regarding the matter.
“We had written letters to the department and requested meetings with the school’s inspector. They kept on saying there will be meetings, until the inspector started to ignore our calls,” he said.
