🧺 Bric-a-Brac Stall – Time to Declutter! ✨

The Grade 3s are gearing up for their Bric-a-Brac Stall, and we’re calling on all families to help fill the tables.

We’re collecting good-quality, pre-loved treasures — think:

  • ornaments,
  • kitchenware,
  • toys,
  • décor,
  • gadgets,
  • games,
  • and all those bits and bobs you no longer need.

Drop your donations off in the foyer of the hall, and help us turn clutter into cash for a good cause.

🎟️ Lucky Draw Prize Donations Needed! 🎁✨

The Grade 6s are preparing for the ever-popular Lucky Draw at the Micklefield Market, and we’re looking for fabulous prizes to make it our best one yet.

Prizes can be big or small — from vouchers, hampers, and beauty products to wine, homeware, or fun family experiences. Every donation helps make the draw exciting and supports our school.

If you or your business can contribute, please fill in the donations Google Form below.

Let’s make this a Lucky Draw to remember!

Alumni Spotlight

Sophia Trout represented South Africa at the Africa Aquatics Zone IV Championships in Manzini, Eswatini, earlier this month. Sophia won 1 gold (in the relay) and 3 silver medals (50m, 100m and 200m backstroke)! 🇿🇦💙

We are so proud of you, Sophia — from your very first swimming days at Micklefield to making waves on the international stage!

At just 16, Sophia has already dedicated most of her life to swimming. Starting at age 2, joining Vineyard Swimming Club and swimming for Micklefield School at age 8. 

Sophia’s dream is to represent South Africa on the world stage, but travel, training, and competition costs are high. 

If anyone would like to support our Alumni swimming star and help her get to the World Aquatics World Cup in the USA, you can follow this link: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1576343121
