As the Class of 2015 we wanted to give a
gift to Kearsney to show our appreciation for
the opportunities that the school had given
to us. After some discussion it was 100%
unanimously agreed that an appropriate gift
would be to start a Class of 2015 Bursary
Fund.
Each boy from of the Class of 2015 made
a voluntary contribution of R200 or more
in our Matric year. We were delighted by
the positive and encouraging response
by the 2015 Parents, some of whom also
contributed. By November 2015 we had
raised R33 300.
These funds are ring-fenced and invested in
the Kearsney Development Fund. The plan
is to add to this capital over the years and
to see the investment grow over time and
exist beyond our lifetimes. We feel this Fund
will be an excellent way for the year of 2015,
both boys and parents, to keep in contact
with one another and, most importantly,
it provides a way for the Class of 2015 to
create and build a legacy. It is our goal to give
others the same life-changing experience
which each of us has had at Kearsney.
The Class of 2015 is delighted to be the first
Matric group that has ever started a Class
Fund whilst still at school and we hope that
this will inspire future generations to do the
same.
Highlights from our 2015 year … A year to
remember!
Our focus during 2015 was on serving
others and on helping the community. We
expressed this through our Blanket Donation
Drive, where we supported those affected
by the xenophobic attacks, our collaboration
with local musicians in a song standing up
against xenophobia, our involvement in the
Rhino Shout-Out Challenge, which raised
awareness about rhino poaching in South
Africa, and many other contributions.
There have been countless memories
that were made this year and the sound of
Darian Blair
’s David Attenborough accent
only starts the flood of nostalgia. We hope
that this fund can be a suitable legacy for
the Class of 2015 and will start a trend for
future Matric classes.
