Interact Raise funds for Canaan Care Centre
Receives SA Colours
The Lilyfontein School Interact Group raises funds for the Canaan Care Centre which cares for persons with severe and profound physical and mental disabilities. They held two events in April, the disaster Dinner and the Father & Son Fun Day Guests at the Disaster Dinner eat their food with whatever utensil they are given. This year this included braai tongs, olive spoons and even beach spades. Teams of dads and their lads competed in many mental and physical challenges at this year’s Father & Son Fun Day.
Gandhi Jafta (Grade 11) received her SA Colours for cricket and was presented with a trophy and her SA cap at the annual Border Cricket Awards on 15 April. The Border Woman’s Cricket Team, of which she has been a member for two seasons, was presented with medals for winning the CSA Woman’s Coastal T20 Competition. They won all 4 of their T20 matches and 3 out of 4 of their 50 over matches.
Matric Dance As usual, the Grade 11s did an amazing job of transforming the school hall and planning the event. In true Lilyfontein School style, the matrics and their guests arrived in a wide variety of vehicles including the standard luxury cars, a pony trap, a Volksie Bus and a vintage tractor.
