The four Growthpoint shopping centres, Golden Acre Shopping Centre, Middestad Mall, Longbeach Mall and The Constantia Village, have all contributed to the success of the programme by ‘adopting’ a School District in each level of the competition. There are 80 schools participating in the Growsmart literacy programme. These schools are equally divided amongst four Western Cape Education Department School Districts – East (Longbeach Mall), North (Middestad Mall), South (The Constantia Village) and Central (Golden Acre Shopping Centre).

Each shopping centre has kindly provided assistance with staffing and their tenants have sponsored refreshments for supporters and goodie bags for the contestants. In addition, the shopping centres have launched a book collection drive where shoppers can donate new or used children’s books. These books will be distributed to the participating schools and learners. Look out for the book collection boxes in each of these centres!
