OLD BOYS' DAY - SUPPORTING DROUGHT RELIEF
See you this Saturday, as our wider community helps to raise much-needed funds for struggling farmers in drought stricken areas across the country. There will be a number of fundraising opportunities during Old Boys' Day to support those rural families in need. Our current students will be walking through the crowd on the day with buckets collecting money, so please dig deep and help us support a worthy cause.
