Gene Louw Primary love to give back to the community
Genies care!

BREAKTHROUGH
A group of Gene Louw parents have also founded a prayer and support group, Breakthrough, to support families in our school as and where needed. This group regularly organise food drives to support these families.
Breakthrough prayer group
A group of parents meets in the staff room at 07:45 every Thursday morning to pray for the school and its educators and learners.
Giving Fridays/food drive
Once a term, as part of a culture of caring, the school collects groceries to distribute among households in need. A group of parents assists with packing grocery bags every second week.
School lunches for hungry tummies
Several Gene Louw households are taking financial strain, with children coming to school hungry. Parents take turns to supply school lunches for these learners (every volunteer is allocated roughly one week per term when they need to prepare and send lunch packets to school).
Additional support
Further assistance is given on an ad hoc basis, for instance with stationery, school uniforms, birthdays, camps and special days at school.
