Fight MND Big Freeze 10, hosted by R5 & R8 Tutor Groups

Friday July 26 | 11.00am (rescheduled)

Students from these Tutor Groups and the Service Committee have organised a fundraiser event with staff members bravely registering their interest to “take the plunge” for an important cause. Motor neurone disease (MND) is a debilitating disease which attacks the patient’s nerves and takes away their ability to walk, speak, swallow and ultimately breathe with an average life expectancy of just 27 months from diagnosis. With many family members and friends of our School community affected by MND this is a valuable opportunity to raise much needed funds and awareness.

On Friday July 26, students and staff will meet at the Top Basketball Courts from 11am to 11.30am to show their support and tip the buckets! You can also donate to our fundraiser using this LINK or by making a cash donation at the Senior School office.
