Big Freeze EDSC 2025

East Doncaster hosted the annual Big Freeze event to raise funds for Fight MND and those suffering with Motor Neurone Disease. This has been a long-standing relationship with Fight MND the Daniher Family and East Doncaster Secondary College that we are proud to continue each year. 

Throughout the term, we had a number of students and staff fundraising money to undertake the ice bucket challenge and brave the cold for a worthy cause! It was great to see the community get behind such a worthy cause by donating online! 

A special shout out to the following people for their fundraising and braving the icy conditions of the ice bucket challenge! 

• College Principal: Karen Boyle $671 
• Office Manager: Lisa Bull $546 
• Teacher: Nicola Ritchie $393 
• Year 12: Connor O’Neill $621 
• Year 12: Harris Khan $72
• Year 11: Lola Robertson $500
• Year 8 Gabby Chu $100 

To support the online donations, we also had a casual clothes day and asked students to bring in a gold coin donation! We were excited to see a 40% growth in donations from students resulting in over $1700 raised from gold coins, so a big well done to the student body for supporting such a great cause!

Without our fabulous events team of this year, none of this would be possible. The following students lead by Rebecca James have put this event together which has resulted in its success.

• Ishani - 9D
• Mazen - 10L
• Mishal - 9J
• Artin - 8C
• Salma - 11L
• Amirah - 12D

We would finally like to thank you as the East Doncaster Community for your support with the event! It has been out most successful student fundraiser over the past two years as we reached our goal of $5000!
