Primary SRC On Tuesday, November 14, the Primary SRC held a junior cake stall to raise funds for Westmead Children's Hospital. The idea was initiated by Pia Fattore and some of her Year 4 friends, with the SRC helping supply cakes to sell. I'd like to thank those students and their parents for generously supplying the meringues, cakes and other items on the day.
We raised $105 for the hospital, which will be used to make the lives of sick children a little happier. Thank you to all the people who helped make the stall a success. Mrs Lothian
