audrt from our bankers Bardays. They th4ays want to know that ou¥ money is going to the
right F4ace and wheie our lunds come trom. To this end in 2025 and into this financi￿ year
we have streamlined the movement of our funds. Funds for bursaries are now going direcdy
to St James Secondary school whilst the pr&school salary and the feeding fund funds go via
