SHADEPORT DONATED TO VP STAFF
After attending their 40 year reunion during June this year, Arno and Geraldine (nee Victor) du Plessis decided to donate a triple shadeport to the school. They are the owners of All Weather Awnings & Blinds and wanted to show their gratitude to VP.
The ports are for the use of the Headmaster, a Deputy Principal and to Mrs Marintha du Preez. What a special gift from two old scholars who have not forgotten the
wonderful times they had at VP.
