What this means

This document is the official Fundraising and Sponsorship Policy for sports teams and tours at Victoria Girls High School, ratified by the School Governing Body on 23 November 2006. It outlines procedures for seeking sponsorship, fundraising, and donations, requiring all requests to be submitted to the Principal and approved before any activity proceeds. It emphasizes that sponsorships should benefit as many learners as possible, equipment may become school property based on sponsor decision, and no learner may be forced to contribute money without prior approval and joint agreement between school and parents. The policy also mandates the use of official school uniforms and restricts focus on clothing over performance and health benefits.
