MySchool welcomes all new learners, staff and parents to the Kirstenhof Family.  We urge our parents to continue and support the MySchool programme.  The programme gives parents and other community-minded individuals a vehicle through which to make a meaningful contribution to schools, in a convenient and transparent manner.  This is not a donation service, but a true partnership between schools and business partners. The supporter card is not a debit or credit card but serves as a measure through which valuable supporter data, such as transactions and funds raised for a particular school, are tracked.  Please visit the MySchool website: www.myschool.co.za to apply for your supporter card or alternatively contact Mrs Richter at the front office for an application form.  Kirstenhof Primary School’s MySchool position in Cape Town South Region is 9th out of 32 Primary Schools. Let’s continue to try and reach the NO. 1 position.  MySchool’s partners are Woolworths, Toys ‘R’ Us, kalahari.net, Waltons, Engen Convenience Centres, Synergy Pharmacy and many more.  Please view more partners on the following website: www.myschool.co.za
