Pupils and teachers of South Point High School decided to usher in the festive season by reaching out to some less privileged members of society, both young and old. Pupils were encouraged to contribute from their own pocket money or else carry out some household work and earn the money, in order to make the act truly participatory and thereby meaningful. Needless to say, and South Point High School can vouch for the same, that the act of giving brings more joy to the benefactor than to the recipient. Community Service has been done in the following organisations on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 and Friday, September 23, 2022.
