Paterson High School

In September 2017, a company called Oracle donated compost and spinach seeds in exchange for our electronic waste.

Paterson High’s environmental club, Eco Warriors, assisted by Mrs M Coetzee and our American Intern Ms R. Burns, was very excited about this new project.

Learners were groomed the necessary skills to plant and maintain watering the garden. Learners were overwhelmed with joy when they saw their first garden. As a reward, they received personalised t-shirts and wore it with pride.

This whole new experience for the learners brought about a new hype for Paterson High, especially when the new crop arrived. Spinach was then sold to buy more seeds.

Our aim is to let these vegetables become a tremendous contribution for our Feeding Scheme, the only problem is that we require seeds in order to expand our vegetable garden.

Eco Warriors, in particular, would become more delightful, more motivated and confident if their garden flourishes and most of all they would have a better sense of responsibility.

Alumni Update: The revamp of old woodwork room into a venue hire facility is part of 90th Anniversary Legacy Project. This will assist the school to raise funds which is desperately needed. There is still much to be done like repairing broken panes, putting up a dry wall, painting the exterior, replacing window frames etc. We ask all alumni to assist in any way possible.
