Dear Michael Oak Community
Help raise funds for our school and others with the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet Fundraising programme. MySchool contributes over R8 million to their beneficiaries every month. Michael Oak benefits by around R3000 per month through our supporters. As a supporter it doesn’t cost you an extra cent to make a difference, and it can save you money.
How does the Programme work?
Get a card (see below) then simply swipe your MySchool Card when you shop at one of the many MySchool partners. These include Woolworths, Engen QuickShops, Walton’s, Toys R Us, Reggie’s, Altech Netstar and Power24.co.za prepaid electricity to name just a few. They donate a percentage of your spend to our school. There is no extra cost to you.
Card holders also automatically qualify to be a part of the Woolworths WRewards programme, which offers up to 20% off instantly on over 1000 items in store.
