BURSARY SCHEME | Help provide affordable quality education

We offer to assistance to families who have a heartfelt wish to give their children a creative, child-centered education. 

Raphaeli offers partial bursaries to parents who need help making ends meet, we require that families who benefit from the bursaries are invested in the school.

Meaning they pay as much as they can towards school fees, they pay in kind by helping at the school & participate in parent’s meetings, fundraisers & festivals.

MEALTIME MAGIC | Help us provide wholesome school lunches

Traditionally Raphaeli has always served fresh, healthy warm meals to Kindergarten and Playgroup. 

The Covid crisis highlighted a need in our community for meals provided free of charge to the children.

We have expanded our free wholesome school lunches to all the children at Raphaeli. It has been an instant hit with the children and parental gratitude is immense. We intend to continue this initiative permanently.

SCHOOL CAMPS | Support education through exploration

South Africa is a nation of diversity, not only are we multi-cultural but our natural environment offers a spectacular variety of wonders.

We believe it is essential for the children to experience some of the historical, cultural and geographical marvels our magnificent county has to offer.

To organise these trips requires hard work, teacher, parents and children have the responsibility of planning excursions as well as the classes fundraising for them.

Any donations towards these valuable experiences is appreciated.
