A Helping Hand for Haiti

Well done! Year 3 pictured with the first load of hurricane relief supplies for Haiti, in the back of Mr Ricardo's truck. The second picture shows the second load - waiting to be loaded! We hope that our efforts make life a little easier for those who have lost their homes and possessions.

A Helping Hand for Haiti

Year 3 have been encouraging all the other classes in the school to lend a helping hand to Haiti. At a recent assembly, all the pupils were introduced to the problems that Haiti has been experiencing since it was hit by a series of hurricanes - Fay, Gustav, Ike and Hannah. Year 3 had made posters to promote the need for help. Different classes were encouraged to bring selected items to school - and all were encouraged to look through their clothes, toys and books to identify items which are still in good condition and could be used again. By Friday 3rd October, we will see how well the school and community have pulled together to help this hurricane relief effort. A Dress Down Day was also organised and over $250 was raised.
