    Story

    The school will be raising money for charity The Centre for Education Rights and Transformation (CERT is a department of the University of Johannesburg).

    The Centre’s work is anchored in the ideals of social, political and economic democracy; racial, class, gender and language equity; diversity in knowledge creation, discovery and dissemination. It defends education and human rights and promotes transformative teaching and learning.

    CERT works to promote and facilitate education opportunities for youth in impoverished areas surrounding Johannesburg. They have setup community education clinics (run by volunteers) within isolated townships to provide further learning and teaching support for children. These clinics are a safe haven for children; a place where education is valued and nurtured to empower the next generation, which is for a great cause.

    With the funds raised, the school aims to buy resources to help support the work of CERT, in some of Johannesburg's most impoverished communities.

    The staff and parents will be running as part of one of three teams - West Lodge Whippets, West Lodge Wonders and West Lodge Wizards.

    Those taking part are: Ronan O’Rourke, Alan Thomas, Michelle Thomas , George Lappas, Lorraine Abrahams, Darshana Vaghela, Lucy Taylor, Colin Barnes, Andrew Seymour, Rachel Seymour, John Cadman, Sheetal Riyat, Sonia Gobindlal, Damian Nevins, Jo Samiullah, Michelle Thwaites, Robert Currall, Kara Dunn, Tim Dunn, Jim Dees, Grant Beckwith, Bridie McHaffe and Judith Rackham.

    We have set up a JustGiving page and we would be grateful for any donations which will help us reach our target of £2000.
