The regular blood donors of Barberton High School received an unexpected visit this week from the Lowveld Blood Bank team, who stopped by to show their appreciation in a heartfelt way.

A total of 65 pupils who have consistently donated blood throughout the year were surprised with special gift parcels filled with treats and good wishes for their upcoming final exams. The gesture was the blood bank’s way of saying thank you for their continued commitment to saving lives.

In the front are Randal Parsons, Wake Shabangu, Mynette Ncongwane, Marli Maree, Terry Botes, Asleigh Strydom, and Tjaard van der Walt with at the back Siphesihle Mkabela, Thomas Rust, Marcus Harmse, Luan Viljoen and Simon Thomson.

The school has built a strong culture of compassion and community service, with its learners proudly supporting the blood donation drives that visit the campus regularly. Each donation contributes to a vital cause, and the enthusiasm of these young donors has not gone unnoticed.

“We are so proud of our pupils for giving so selflessly,” their teacher Janet Booysen remarked. “They have not only made a difference in the lives of others but have also shown the true spirit of Barberton High.”

As the year draws to a close, these acts of kindness and community connection remind us that giving, in any form, is what truly unites Barberton.
