Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to take this opportunity to present Effingham Secondary School (ESS) to you and your company.
LEARNER DEMOGRAPHICS:
Effingham Secondary School (ESS) is a public high school servicing the Effingham Heights/ Avoca and surrounding areas including the impoverished informal settlements surrounding these areas, as well as learners from afar afield as Inanda. Majority of our learners are from middle to low income families and from families with poor socio–economic backgrounds, including learners from orphaned households or child headed households.
The following graph is representative of the schools learner demographics.
MATRIC RESULTS:
The schools extremely dedicated educators and management have over the years produced matric pass rates around the 90th percentile mark from as far back as 1999. The school has also produced a number of matriculants who were placed in the provincial top 10 over the years.
The following graph shows the schools performance over recent years and also demonstrates the schools performance in comparison to Provincial and National results. The graph clearly indicates the considerable margin by which ESS results exceeded both Provincial and National results.
OUR CHALLENGES:
A major challenge for the school over recent years has been the poor recovery of school fees. Despite various fund raising campaigns, and the ever increasing operating and maintenance costs has seen the schools coffers depleted to critical levels. This has resulted in various maintenance projects for the schools ageing infrastructure, various learner social campaigns, and other projects being deferred indefinitely or reprioritised.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU:
The school would like to offer you and your company the opportunity to be associated with a school with an excellent academic track record. The schools management humbly seeks your financial assistance and / or other sponsorships to help with the schools upkeep, social programs, and operating expenses.
We would welcome the opportunity to further discuss and personally show you or your delegation our school and some of the challenges we face.
THANK YOU:
We thank you for the opportunity you have allowed us in presenting Effingham Secondary School, and hope you and your company will take up this opportunity to associate your brand with our school.
CONTACT INFORMATION:
Should any further information be required or if further discussion is required, please do not hesitate to contact the principal on the numbers listed below.
“An investment in our school is an investment in a better tomorrow for all”
Yours in education
Aluta Continua !!!
