Grade 7s at King David Sandton ended their primary school year on 12 November by holding a market day that met the needs of COVID-19 safety, teaching adaptability, teamwork, and planning.
As well as taking the initiative to decide what they sold, how they advertised ‘Entrepreneurs Day’, and how they co-ordinated the order process, the Grade 7s had to maintain COVID-19 protocols, which included ensuring social distancing and keeping sanitiser on hand.
Dean Witz, the director of Safety Solution Hub, the official consultant for the South African Board of Jewish Education regarding COVID-19 safety, helped to ensure that all pre-orders and sales were done so safely and with no potential harm to pupils.
A whopping profit of R19 641.20 was made, which will benefit the following charities: Hatzolah; Kitty and Puppy Haven; Selwyn Segal; The Angel Network; Thuthuzela Aid Community Centre; DL Link; Impilo Child Protection and Adoption Services; and Arcadia.
