Established by the GO Fund in 2013, Pathfinder School has grown to become a beacon of hope and opportunity for over 350 students up to grade 9. Situated in a community where financial challenges often limit access to quality education, Pathfinder offers a lifeline, providing free schooling to children living in poverty.
The school’s mission goes beyond just academics; it’s about nurturing holistic development, empowering each student to reach their full potential. This wouldn’t be possible without the combined support of the Davie Family Foundation and the GO Fund. While the school operates on a no-fee basis for underprivileged families, it also relies on contributions from those who can afford to pay and generous donations from supporters passionate about its cause.
In line with its commitment to providing a safe and stimulating environment for its students, Pathfinder is currently embarking on an exciting project: the construction of a playground. This playground isn’t just a space for fun and games; it’s a vital component of the school’s infrastructure, fostering physical activity, social interaction, and cognitive development.
As the playground takes shape, anticipation builds, but there’s one crucial detail yet to be finalized—the name. This isn’t just any playground; it’s a symbol of opportunity, resilience, and community spirit. It’s where children will laugh, learn, and create cherished memories for years to come.
The design of the playground reflects careful consideration for safety and inclusivity. Enclosed within a sturdy fence, it provides a secure space for children to play freely under the watchful eyes of teachers and staff. The equipment, carefully selected to cater to various ages and abilities, includes a merry-go-round, slides, a see-saw, and swings—three swings, to be precise, ensuring there’s always room for everyone to join in the fun!
