Support the Bishops Staff!

Update - 31 August 2009

Applications: Thank you to everyone who has responded to the new MySchool initiative and applied for their cards. Whilst we have had a good response in this regard, there are still many parents and OD’s out there who have yet to apply – we again appeal to all of you to please apply for your MySchool card and use it as much as possible at any Woolworths or partner store. At no extra cost to you, the funds raised from this project will go towards augmenting the
i) salaries of the Bishops Staff and
ii) the Bursary & Scholarship Fund.

Partners: A list of the MySchool partners is as follows: Woolworths, Spur, Waltons, SupaQuick, Engen, Reggies, Kalarhari.net, Toys R Us, Club Travel, Quicksilver, Jack’s Paint & Hardware

Funds: Whilst the project started 1 August, there is a time lag due to applications being processed and waiting for the corresponding monthly payment from MySchool, so we are not yet able to report on any statistics. As soon as we are able to ascertain what the funds are, we will be reporting this to you on a monthly basis via this update report.

So all that’s left to do is APPLY for your CARD and USE IT !

About MySchool

Bishops and MySchool have introduced an exciting initiative and although it is initially only a pilot project for a year, it could roll out to every school in South Africa if successful. We believe that channeling the MySchool funds into particular projects at the school will be far more effective and will mean more to you as you will know where your contribution is going. There is no cost to you in any way and the project is based on the existing system of the MySchool card. Effective August 2009, simply use your card as before – or sign up should you not already have one – and the school will channel the funds to two critical projects - BISHOPS STAFF and the SCHOLARSHIP & BURSARY FUND. Bishops has always believed that our teaching staff is the backbone of the quality education that we provide and that Scholarships and Bursaries are an essential aspect of our school.

Bishops has participated in the MySchool project for many years, but has not really embraced the full opportunity. Currently less than 10% of our family is using a MySchool card. We believe that having a ‘project focus’ will offer you an incentive to use your card and make a difference in so many ways and to so many lives. We will send out regular feedback on the progress of this new initiative.
