Another spectacular Event by Checkstar Verulam Falcons Athletic Club
Checkstar Verulam Falcon’s Athletic Club is a community immersed organization choosing sport and family values as its medium.
We are community sensitive and a committed conduit to the development of society via social welfare programmes and education preparedness of learners towards the transformation of societies by creating opportunities. The schools vision of coding and robotics rooms is laudable and points to agile leadership to be relevant.
We have a fabulous history with VSS for a quarter of a century, and we know the fantastic work you and your team are delivering.
We have chosen to invest in education at a premier public institution as we believe our combined efforts will prepare fit for purpose learners to enter the economy at different levels towards altering societal deprivations.
Thank you Team for assisting for the Fun Run 2023. A big thank you to Mr Govender, Miss S. Ismail and Team VSS for always helping us in our Fun Run. No event is 100% but we can always work together and look for ways to make the event better.
