Help Table View Primary School choir sing their way to national competition in Pretoria

THE Table View Primary School has launched a fundraising campaign for more than 100 members of its senior choir to compete in the prestigious  ATKV Applous Choir Competition National Finals  in Pretoria. 

 Hailing from Cape Town,  the choir is made up of more than 110 young voices, aged 9 to 13, representing different cultures and communities.

 “We are proud to be one of the most multicultural school choirs in the region, singing in English, Afrikaans, Sesotho and isiXhosa—a true reflection of South Africa’s rich diversity. Last year, we competed in the Merit Category and placed first at the National Finals in Cape Town. This year, we took a bold step forward by entering the Prestige Section, and against all odds, we have once again been invited to the National Finals in Pretoria,” said the school.

To ensure that the choir realises this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share their passion for music, their discipline and their message of unity through song on a national stage, the school has urged the public to open their wallets and contribute towards  transportation, accommodation, meals, and logistical costs. 

By Wednesday, the campaign had secured nearly R150 000 of the required R750 000. The competition from July 30 ends on August 2.

“Traveling from Cape Town to Pretoria with such a large group of young learners requires significant funding. Every Rand makes a difference. Every voice deserves to be heard. Every child deserves this opportunity.”
