Let’s take it back to the beach….
|

School holidays means we do all things Fun and the Beach is one of them. On the 07th of January Miss Mhlophe along with Child and Youth Care Workers that were on duty spoiled the little ones by taking them on a special trip to the beach. This day enabled everyone to have the time of their lives while interacting with each other, outside of the Home, especially having a positive impact on the little ones
who had not gone to any family members for the entire holidays!
A huge sense of gratitude goes to Aunty Ntokozo for organizing this lovely outing.

15 January 2020- Back to school came a bit later this year! With the number of holidays the children received, when the day came everyone was all geared up and eager to start new grades, gain new friends and of course broaden their knowledge. At PCH we take pride in our children’s education and with your assistance we have managed to reach our goals of placing each and every child in school, all fully dressed. Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” and nothing gives us the greatest joy in knowing that we play our part the best way we can. Wishing the class of 2020 nothing but the best of luck as they broaden their knowledge and praying for a successful year as they embark on this wonderful journey.
Here’s to the class of 2020…. Fly high!!

A huge gratitude also goes to Rotary Azalea for the wonderful donation of school bags. PCH acknowledges you for assisting in keeping our children in School.

Rewards for excelling are important in each child’s life, since not only does it serve as a motivation as well to excel, but encourages others to simply produce the best that each child can afford to. Our young lad made us extremely proud, at his Awards Function for Heather High School, where he was rewarded for excelling academically. This young man achieved 3 A’s for English, Life Orientation as well as Geography. A lovely surprise organized by Miss Mhlophe was held for him to encourage him to fly even higher. Unit 3 boys were all invited and this day day was no ordinary day.
There was lots of laughter, music as well as the boys who wished him well as he embarks on his new journey…

This year we are introducing a new section called the PCH Power! In this section we will be sharing our success stories of recent years. Lets work backwards by introducing a young man who has achieved excellent results during his Matric class of 2019. He joined PCH at the tender age of 9 years and from the day he came to us, he proved to be different academically as well as in the way he conducted himself. During his stay at PCH he was a quiet child but very goal driven. He placed PCH on the map by excelling in his matric year making him one of our biggest achievers . He has been accepted at the UKZN to further his studies in Sports Science and Management. We will continue to guide and support him as this is the only home he has ever known, and the only family he has!
Wishing him nothing but the best as he embarks on his tertiary education.
