Support the Springboks

Get behind the Springboks at the Tri-nations and the Rugby World Cup with an educational product and
raise funds for NWCS!

Fan Can is a brand of high quality A3-sized jigsaw puzzles that are licensed by The South African Rugby Football Union and Cricket South Africa. Each 252 piece jigsaw puzzle forms part of a collection (e.g. the Springboks Collection or the Proteas Collection) and the puzzles are packed individually in a can that resembles an oversized cold drink can. Each puzzle is numbered and forms part of its respective Collection (e.g. the Springboks Collection.)

To add to the hype surrounding the up-coming Tri-nations and the Rugby World Cup, we are offering a
collector’s pack of all four of the current Springboks puzzles for R100 per pack. The Fan Can puzzles
normally retail at R99.95 PER PUZZLE, so this price represents a fantastic discount over the normal retail price and the school will raise great funds for their school.

This is a great opportunity for your child to build and frame the four official, licensed A3 Springbok puzzles while at the same time raising funds for the school. The four puzzles come packed in a limited-edition carry pack and are available through either, completing the Fan Can order form and dropping it off in the PTA drop box in the office WITH the money, or by purchasing the puzzles directly from the school from 13h00 - 13h30 MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS and THURSDAYS under the trees outside the office.

Here are some snaps of Aaron Sanders (Grade 4L) having fun with his puzzles.

Remember Bok-Friday too..... wear your SA Rugby shirt and jeans to school on Fridays.
