The SACS families have, over the years, been most generous in their support of the Building and Development Fund. These voluntary contributions have enabled the Schools to grow and to maintain outstanding facilities for our boys. This is a proud achievement in the present State School system, where financial support for schools such as SACS, has been almost totally withdrawn. Not only has this commitment by our parents been of enormous academic, cultural and sporting benefit to our boys, but it has also kept SACS one step ahead of its competitors. We need to remain a leading school not only in Cape Town, but also in South Africa! In order to achieve this, we do need all parents’ support.

Building Projects since 1989:

Set out below is a schedule of projects undertaken since the inception of the Fund.  It is interesting to compare costs from 1989 to date and, although we sometimes had to make use of overdraft facilities, replacement costs today would be exorbitant. The fact that R17 million has been spent from voluntary donations only goes to prove parents’ and Old Boys’ wholehearted appreciation of the necessity of our Building & Development Fund.

We urge parents to be part of the Building and Development Fund that is so crucial to the growth of our School’s facilities for the future of our boys. Your support will be valued greatly as we continue ‘Building for Life’.
