WHEELCHAIRS
FOR KIDS
In Term Three we held a quiz night
to support our fundraising goals.
The night was a resounding success with over thirty tables of staff,
students, parents, alumni and friends enjoying the evening. Over
$5000 was raised on the night. The highlight of the evening was
the winning staff table donating their first prize back to Brother
Olly Pickett.
A big thank you to the students who have assisted throughout the year.
Wheelchairs for Kids Coordinator, Ms Christobel Thaung, has been a
great support for many years and we thank her for her continued efforts.
It was also great to have Mrs Melissa Traeger and Mrs Louise Stott join the
Wheelchairs for Kids team this year. Their time and effort was appreciated
by Brother Olly & his volunteers. We look forward to them both being a
part of the team again in 2018.
We have now raised over $25,000 for Wheelchairs for Kids! This was a
fantastic achievement for all involved!
