DPHS EDUCATIONAL TRUST

The Trust, which is a separate statutory legal body to the school, was formed in 1985 and from its small beginnings; through to the Prep Beyond 2000 project, it continues to raise funds through pledges, donations and various fundraising activities. It currently owns 5 properties in close proximity to the school, including the Grade R and DPHS Aftercare Centre. Between 2010 and 2016 all five sections of the annexure to Lothian Court were purchased and the School’s Music Centre and the DPHS Uniform Shop  are now accommodated in three of these. The School and Trust have developed a strong bond over the years, and the latter has played an integral part in the development of the school.  I have confidence that this school with its experienced teacher body together with the commitment and support of the parent body will continue to deliver quality education long into the future.

DPHS EDUCATIONAL TRUST GOLF DAY 21 October 2022

WOW – what a day and what an amazing fundraiser. 10 months of planning – but what a super feeling to have reached the finish line and to hear the positive feedback from an amazing day. Thank you to the sponsors on the day – your generosity and gees is appreciated. To the 148 players – it was a mix of DPHS Old Boys, current parents and friends of DPHS – we are thrilled to have had you spend the day with us. And the DPHS Educational Trust Golf Committee can now rest…….. until next year.

 

The DPHS Educational Trust Golf Day took place on the 15 October 2021. The field of 152 players enjoyed perfect weather for golf and friendship. It goes without saying the success of a day like this depends on the support and assistance from the Prep community – Thank you to all the parents, friends of Prep, Old Boys and staff who participated and contributed to the 2021 Golf Day and we look forward to next year’s event in 2022.
A special thank you to Mia Venter who has generously given of her time for the past 8 years as the Golf Day Convenor.  Mia also was involved with the golf days previously when her elder son was at DPHS (2001-2007).  The Trust and School are very appreciative of her commitment and dedication.

GOLF DAY 2020

2020 has been a challenging year for most and the DPHS Educational Trust was privileged to still host the Golf Day on 27th November 2020 at Royal Dbn Golf Course with 152 golfers! The weather caused a little discomfort initially, however, the day turned into a perfect day for golf.  An enjoyable day was had by all the golfers and culminated in dinner and prize giving with Craig Springate as the MC. Many thanks and appreciation to all the prize donations and course sponsorships in this challenging year, as well as to all the helpers on the day – we look forward to seeing you all again in 2021.
