Victorian Bushfire Appeal
| Student councillors from Boyup Brook District High School took advantage of the town’s recent music festival to raise funds for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
In less than two days of tin shaking down the main street the students had collected over a thousand dollars for the victims of Australia’s worst disaster on record. Deputy Principal of the Middle School, Brendan Murray, threw out the challenge to the councillors and was amazed at how enthusiastically they took it on board.
“They didn’t even flinch at the request that they be in school uniform down town on Saturday morning,” he said.
Mr Murray conceded that the students’ apparent readiness to embrace the fundraising initiative was really about concerned country kids caring about victims from communities similar to their own Head Girl, Ella Casserly, agrees:
“We saw what happened to Bridgetown down the road where no life was lost but it was still pretty bad,” she said. “It could easily be any town in our region, besides, we’re all Australians.” |
