Project Funding Allocations

Funding for activities to enhance the educational outcomes for our students comes from the sale of Entertainment Memberships, as well as revenue sources such as the second hand book and uniform shops.

 

Entertainment Memberships

Proceeds from the sale of Entertainment Memberships go to fund the Board initiated Student Leadership Development Program. Feedback from students who have benefitted from the leadership program include:

  • The leadership program means alot to me because of the confidence it gave me, inspiring me to take on a variety of leadership roles thorught the year. The leadership activities have subjected me to new experiences which have helped me grow as a leader
  • We learnt at the conference that as young leaders, we need to begin making changes in the real world. We need to find solutions to probems and we need to work with others to put these solutions into action.
  • The motivating speeches and amazing presentation at the conference all impacted us greatly, causing everyone to come to grips with a long task that we as future leaders have ahead, and learning how to be a leader the world needs.
