As a Government  school, with many cutbacks in staffing of support staff, therapists and educators,  St. Raphael’s Special School relies on the kind donations of its parents and the public to continue with the upliftment of the school and extending the services it provides to our learners. Every donation matters, and no matter how big or small, your contribution will have an impact. Sponsorship projects and upgrades are ongoing with the changing landscape in education and in particular special needs. Kindly contact Aradhna Misra (Deputy Principal) and Roger Lutchmiah(Financial Administrator)for further information. All donations will  be gratefully accepted and may be deposited into the Schools Bank Account. Our banking details can be found below:

As we are government school, we rely heavily on sponsorships for the upgrading of the facilities and resources available to our learners. Currently, we have upgraded our Foundation Phase playgrounds and classrooms. They have received new jungle gyms, artificial grass, tarring and newly painted classrooms to facilitate learning and development in a welcoming environment.

We have introduced the Technical Occupational Skills Programme recently which involved the building and resourcing of our Hospitality Unit and Hairdressing Salon for our skills development. We need to upgrade our computer room equipment so that we may offer Coding and Robotics, together with Office Administration.

We are grateful to Colin Govender and his friends for the sponsorships of materials for completion of our Hairdressing Salon.

This year our focus is on the CAPS-SID Skills Development Programme. This programme offers Art and Craft, Agricultural Studies and Ancillary Health and we are in the process of setting up our skills development resource stations. 

We gratefully acknowledge our current sponsors who have contributed to the development of our school:

	Mondi: Paper donations and computer centre
	New Forest Congregational Church: R20000 towards the development of our Foundation Phase playground
	ABSA Bank - Malvern Branch
