MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Kindness was the focus of Curro Mossel Bay independent school's Valentine's Day activities this year.

The school, in collaboration with the Da Gamaskop Police Station, organised a clothing collection drive.

Lieutenant-Colonel Maria Gerber and Constable Jan-Hendrik Els of Da Gamaskop picked up the bags filled with clothing from Curro Mossel Bay on Tuesday, 18 February.

In order to wear civvies on Valentine's Day, learners and parents of Curro had to donate items of clothing, which were handed over by the Da Gamaskop Police to children in the Brandwag community.

The clothing drive was a success and has set the tone for future collaboration between the school and Da Gamaskop Police Station.
