Fern House

Hello everyone, my name is Wayne and I am the Year 8 Fern SRC. I am here to tell you about the recent events for raising money for RizeUp.

As we are wrapping up the third term of the school year with the last day being a few days away, we are reflecting on the work our student leaders have been doing for the past few weeks. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there has been an ongoing soccer tournament in the gym, that I’m sure most of you know about, to raise money and awareness for a local charity. We have been doing this by selling food and sweets to people who are watching the matches as well as passers by. We have also been collecting donations for the charity.

The charity is a social service called RizeUp. RizeUp Australia is a national organisation that works in partnership with domestic violence agencies to enhance the service options they provide. The RizeUp mission is to drive awareness of domestic and family violence within society by generating life-changing, practical support for the families affected, giving them the hope, empowerment and ability to move on to a life free from violence. By buying or donating you are helping people in our community.

For Term 4, student leaders have been planning to do another soccer tournament for the younger students (Year 7-9) as this term was for the senior year levels. This will be held in the gym on Thursdays and Fridays every week. There will be food to buy such as chocolate, chips, sweets and other assortments of lollies.

In Term 4, we are hoping to raise more than we did this term and with your help we can do that. Again, any donation is greatly appreciated by us and the volunteers at RizeUp, but for now enjoy the break for the coming term.
