A GrandWest donation of nearly R1,6 million has transformed consumer studies classrooms at two Cape Town schools.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For two Cape Town schools, the heart of their school is truly back in their kitchens, thanks to a donation of just under R1,6 million from GrandWest to upgrade their consumer studies classrooms.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus College in Wynberg serves Grade 8 to 12 learners from disadvantaged backgrounds who need alternative school placement.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school was still using the original consumer studies practical room, dating back to 2012, with its outdated stoves and fridges. In addition to a general upgrade and modern catering equipment, one of the most important elements of the R780 000 refurbishment was upgrading the electrical system. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, learners can focus on learning the art of cooking without worrying about electrical disasters.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest Heights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GrandWest invested over R724 000 at Forest Heights High School to provide a desperately needed fresh, clean, and safe space for learners taking consumer studies.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest Heights High School serves 1 299 learners from Eerste River, Mfuleni, and Khayelitsha, but limited funding poses challenges.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Forest Heights is a fee-paying school, unemployment is high, and most families live off social grants. Parents are unable to pay their children’s school fees, which impacts financial liquidity for resources.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the classroom has seen heavy use, and unfortunately, time has taken a toll on the equipment and infrastructure. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stoves, which have been in use for many years, reached the end of their lifespan. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat, steam, and constant usage also had a significant impact on the countertops and overall condition of the room. As a result, the room no longer provided a safe and functional space for learning.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumer studies were part of the curriculum when the school first opened in 1993. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of learners taking classes has increased, and with the growing popularity of food as a career, it has become a subject that students now want to take.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mervyn Naidoo, General Manager of GrandWest, said: “Food has become an exciting career choice. Many youngsters now want to learn about food to follow in the footsteps of chefs who have become household names.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
