The Grey
family has committed itself, through its mission
statement, to playing an active part in the
achievement of better educational opportunities
for all. To achieve this, we have embarked upon
a number of initiatives that fall under the
title of "The Grey Outreach Program". In
accordance with our motto, Tria Juncta in Uno,
we have always striven to provide a kind of
education which would allow the individual pupil
to develop his full potential in Mind, Body and
Spirit. It is our desire now to build on Our
Past Experience, Our Present Expertise and our
Vision for the Future. In doing so we aim to
fully involve ourselves in assisting
disadvantaged learners to cope with the demands
of a very challenging society. We wish to ensure
that the facilities and expertise that we have,
are used to assist in the improvement of
education in our wider community.
The Grey
Outreach Program, which started in 1994, is now
well established and those who have been
involved in its development and administration
have built up a wealth of skill and
understanding. Our vision for the future is to
offer a number of the many deserving
disadvantaged pupils in the community, a better
educational future.
One of the
branches of the Outreach Programme is Computer
Training. Grey believes that there is a serious
need for assistance in the field of Information
Technology and that a significant contribution
can be made in this area. Grey made available
its Computer Facilities to staff to train 40
learners from Ndzondelelo High School in Zwide.
The learners follow the Knowledge Network
curriculum which equips the learners with the
necessary work place skills in spreadsheeting,
word processing, DTP, multimedia, presentations,
communications and electronic research. The
success of this programme can be seen in the
large number of certificates awarded to those
learners who achieved more that 70% in the
November examination.
This year,
further training will be undertaken and we look
forward to further successes. We would like to
thank The Anglo American President's Fund and
the Anglo Gold Education Trust, Knowledge
Network, and other sponsors, who make this
project possible.
