CANSA Debutantes

The CANSA debs are bright and enthusiastic young girls who grow and develop into delightful, confident young women. There is only one real requirement for a deb and that is to be able to organise, organise, organise.

Throughout the year we have numerous functions at school. We have movie nights, socials, civvie days, a shave-a-thon and a spring fun day. We sell donuts, pizzas, Uncle George’s ‘slap’ chips and KFC. Many of our activities are merely to enhance cancer awareness.

Our CANSA debutantes for 2007 are: Amy Pyne-James, Zethu Ndlovu, Mary-Ann Wiggill, Leesha Walters, Shanine Viljoen, Dana da Silva, Andi Wilson, Amy Vieler, Tania Wendelspies, Jeanine McCarthy and Nombuso Matsebule.

The girls all have their own private fundraisings, which includes anything from dinner parties, Karaokes, a fun run, tuck shops and raffles.

We had our Annual Launch on 22 February 2007 organised by the girls themselves. The setting was perfect and our gracious host, Mrs da Silva kindly opened her beautiful house for the launch. We started a new tradition by cutting and eating a ceremonial cake, pinning on the badges and the girls introducing themselves.
