Student Support

@ R80k per year or a portion thereof. If we are certain of an amount allocated for a student or students, we can search for those in need and who are deserving of financial support (the hard working, talented and willing students). Currently 18 Students out of 340+ applicants for 2020 could commit financially in some form.

Vehicle Sponsor

Each of our busses costs in the region of R500k and 2 of the 4 are still financed. The older two have clocked up over 200k kilometres and will need replacing soon. Sponsorship can be stipulated towards monthly payments or for a new purchase.

Music Equipment

Each team is allocated a full set of sound and lighting equipment to equip them properly for a tour. This equipment is then used throughout the year to equip teaching venue on the campus. Each set costs approximately R200k (sound mixer, microphones, speakers, LED lights and stands, cabling for the entire set, etc.) and currently only one set is new and the other equipment varies between 10 and 15 years old. Systematic replacement is taking place as funds are available.

Teaching Venue

There are numerous teaching venues for both academics and practical (dance/drama/music) on the campus and each one needs regular maintenance and upgrading with equipment (LED media screens and speakers in order to allow teaching with all the most modern aids, dance and music equipment). This would take approximately R20k per venue.

My School Card

MySchool/MyVillage/MyPlanet is South Africa’s number one community support programme that raises and delivers essential funding to schools and charities in order to improve education and social development in South Africa. This enables members of the community to participate in the future development of the nation in a sustainable way, without taking money directly from their pocket.

MySchool/MyVillage/MyPlanet programme raises more than R1.7 million per month for the schools and charities it supports.

Parents, Friends and Family can support Pneumatix by applying for a MyVillage card.

How MySchool/MyVillage/MyPlanet works:

More than 600 000 parents and community minded people carry MySchool supporter cards. Supporters (parents, friends and family) apply for a MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet card and nominate their favourite school or charity as the beneficiary. When they purchase items from participating retailers they swipe the card with the purchase. A small percentage of their transaction is then allocated to their beneficiary school or charity. All these transactions are recorded and a statement is sent to individual supporters on a monthly basis.

Where can I swipe myMySchool/MyVillage/MyPlanet card:

The success of the programme depends on the number of times you swipe your card! Supporters can use their cards at a range of national, regional and local retail partners on the MySchool/MyVillage/MyPlanet system. Some of the national partners include Woolworths, Engen, Walton’s, SupaQuick, kalahari.net, Jack’s Paint, Toys R Us, Reggie’s, Club Travel and many more.
