URGENT APPEAL

URGENT APPEAL :

The Strand Moslem Primary is currently urgently in need of funds to erect a fence along the Nolte Street boundary of the school. Due to a lack of a fence, vandals and other negative elements have targeted our school on numerous occasions, stealing anything they could lay their hands on. Our learners’ and staff’s safety are also continually at risk.

Besides the fence, our school has another major challenge and that is accommodation. Currently the school has 902 learners on its roll. The current infrastructure is under severe pressure to accommodate all these learners. The school management was forced to accommodate some classes in containers which are presenting many problems to our learners and educators such as extremely cold conditions in winter, extreme heat in summer, leakage after heavy rainfall, cramped space, etc.

The current state of our school’s fence and container classrooms can be seen from the photos.

The Strand Muslim Community, Management and Staff of the school is kindly appealing to you to assist us with the above mentioned problems facing our school.

School Management
Strand Moslem Primary

Ridaah Leeman and Waleed Smith from the Strand Moslem School left for Dubai to participate in an International Cricket Tournament, from 13 March to 22 March. The tournament will be contested amongst teams from England, Bangladesh, India, West Indies, UAE, Sri Lanka, the USA and Kenia. The two players went through the various selection processes to ultimately be picked for the Western Cape Junior Cobras.

This is a remarkable achievement considering the school has no playground, never mind a sports field. All sporting activities have to be executed among the cars or on the tarmac. Despite the lack of facilities Strand Muslim Primary is still very competitive in the local cricket, rugby, soccer and netball leagues. The only sporting facilities are the municipal fields which is quite a distance from the school. The municipal fields are shared by the 3 other primary and 2 high schools as well as the local rugby, cricket and football clubs. Imagine what can be achieved if the school had their own sports field and facilities.

The achievements of the boys are even more significant if one considers that they were been coached by full-time educators and not privately as is the case with some of the neighbouring schools.

The youngsters started playing cricket for the U/11 team of the school two years ago under the watchful eyes of Mr Riyaad Rhoda and Waheed Waggie. They spotted their talents and drove them hard to achieve their current level of skills. The players joined the Peninsula Cricket Academy when they returned from the National Tournament.

The school, staff and parents wish to express their sincere gratitude towards all sponsors and contributors from the community who made it possible for the players to experience this once –in- a- lifetime opportunity.
