Ryan’s School Run headed to a school that turned 50 this year. In January 1976 Eversdal Primary School opened it’s doors for the first time. Their holistic approach ensures that each student thrives in a balanced environment, fostering a lifelong passion for learning.

They strive to create individuals who are not only academically accomplished but also culturally enriched and are afforded the opportunity to become athletically skilled. The school has 4 values: Faith, Discipline, Integrity, Respect. And today they launched their new value – GRIT.

A Springbok legend pops in at his former school

One of Eversdal Primary’s former learners is Springbok legend Juandré Kruger who popped by the broadcast for a chat about his schooling days and also his work with The Gift of Sight Trust.

The Gift of Sight Trust was formed in 2015 by Dr Johann Krüger (Ophthalmologist since 1993) and Marinda de Vos with the aim of prevention and treatment of avoidable blindness in people who are unable to afford Private Health Care or have been waiting for years for treatment at Public Health Care facilities. They are hosting a VIP golf invitational on Thursday 14 May at De Zalze Golf Club to raise funds and support the lifechanging work they do. Any interested companies or people can email ceo@eyelaserclinic.co.za.
