Term 3 EVENTS
Student Council kicked off with our first meeting last week to discuss events: Bully No Way Day in Week 5, Ponytail Project & World's Greatest Shave in Week 7 and RUOK Day in Week 9.
Bully No Way Day:
Ponytail Project / World’s Greatest Shave: Students and Staff are stepping up to make a difference!
Students and staff are bravely shaving their heads and cutting their ponytails to support the Leukaemia Foundation and Sustainable Salons, helping raise vital funds for cancer research, support services, and the creation of wigs for those in need. We need your help!
Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to a future free of blood cancer and gives hope to families across Australia.

The Student Council have also moved forward on the purchase and installation of Water Cooler bubblers in the school.
