TADA’s activities during 2014 consisted mainly of fundraising and creating awareness within the school. Our involvement in the food sales at the VP Soccer Tournament and cake sales throughout the year, helped to raise funds. Kristen Perils. TADA week, held from the 4th to the 8th of August, during which our society sold ribbons in aid of substance abuse awareness, had pupils sign a pledge saying “no” to drugs. A guest speaker addressed learners on behalf of our society, warning them of the dangers of substance abuse; this created muchneeded awareness. TADA ended off the year with a trip to the Shepherd’s Field Rehabilitation Centre, where R3000 raised by our society was handed over. 145
