Perivale Primary School in Grassy Park: Most of the learners come from an economic – deprived area of Marble Flats, Ottery where unemployment is high and the school struggles financially. Gangsterism, crime and overcrowding are three of the most common obstacles encountered daily by learners at this school. Perivale also receives a low subsidy from the government because they are situated in a better off part in Lotus River, but the children who feed into the school are from close surrounding areas that are more disadvantaged. This creates a problem at the school as they do not receive enough money to run the school effectively which is evident if you look at the state of some of the classrooms, an old non-functional library. Upgrading the library will assist in creating a culture of reading and empowers reading learners to become independent learners and to participate in a global society.
Levels of change - Renovation: Cleaning the library, sorting the books out, new shelving, painting, attractive environment for learners, bean sacks etc. - Donation of books: New books for intermediate (Grade 3,4,5) and senior phase (Grade 6,7) Mostly story books, comics, magazines - Operating library Librarian, cataloging to books, categorizing, library policy, afterschool programs and reading to learners.
