Our Giving Day on Wednesday 28 October was a huge success, with almost $26,500 raised towards our new Events Centre – that’s $6,500 more than our target.
A huge thank you to everyone who donated – we are truly grateful for your support. Every little bit helps as we work towards meeting the funding shortfall on the Centre, which is due to open in May 2021. It will become the hub of our school – the home for performing arts, school events such as assemblies, speech competitions and award ceremonies, and a host of other activities. With a multi-purpose foyer, large auditorium (with upstairs and downstairs seating), a Green Room and work spaces, this Centre will be a hive of activity. For anyone who has attended an event in our gym – you’ll know how excited we are about this project!
The next step in the process is our Christmas Pop-up Store. We’ve got a range of goodies to make Christmas shopping easy this year (including the items pictured above). And a percentage of the proceeds will go towards the Centre. It’s the gift that gives twice!
