MICHAELHOUSE IMPACT REPORT 2025 FINAL

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: EXPANDING THE CIRCLE

Measuring impact is the process of comparing our progress from the last reporting period (2023) to the current (2025). Consistent with our core values of Integrity, Humility, Compassion, Courage and Service the Michaelhouse Community Partnership Trust (NPO:015292) manages our Outreach programme in our community within a 30km radius of the school (see table below). The report that follows summarises our progress over the period.

Our Vision remains “To enable every school leaver to fulfil his/her potential having had a holistic education from the age of 2 to 18 years old. Over the past two years our Mission has continued to focus relentlessly on our five key pillars of success : Principal Leadership Development; Teacher support; Infrastructural Dignity; Education Technology and Learning Outcomes, as follows: • Expanding our partnership to include 10 Early Childhood Development centres , including converting a disused building in Zenzani Village (where many of our staff reside) into a functional ECD centre , and having plans approved to build one in Lions River early next year. • Our Eduhelper programme , young recruits who assist with both teaching and school administration ( now at 25 ), continues to make an invaluable contribution. • Our funded projects have increased to 13 from 10 and continue to deliver against our Vision and Mission • Nine of our 16 schools now have functional computer labs , but we have very little in the way of classroom technology. • In 2023 we converted an old building at Asithuthuke into a Grade 12 dorm for 16 boys , and in 2024 a Grade 12 dorm for 16 girls with the objective of enabling afternoon, Saturday and Sunday revision.

• With the assistance ABSA and Kusini Water we have installed solar powered boreholes at Eminyezaneni Secondary school and Bruntville Primary.
