MND WEEK

During the last week of term 2 SRC are holding MND week. This week aims to raise awareness about MND, its impact on individuals and families, and the need for support and research. Motor neurone disease (MND) is a term used to describe a group of diseases that affect nerve cells called 'motor neurons'. In motor neurone disease, the nerves become damaged and start to die. When this happens, muscles start to weaken and waste away.  Currently, there is no cure for MND and it is life-limiting. The speed at which MND progresses varies for each person.  Survival time also varies, but the average life expectancy is 2 to 3 years from diagnosis.

Tuesday students are having a MND Awareness lunch where they can order a sausage in bread, donut and a fruit box if they wish.  Order forms have been handed out in form assembly and are due back on Monday June 30th at the latest. If your student has not received a form they can see their level co-ordinator, SRC representative or Mr Bott. Prices are 

Sausage in Bread                           $2

Donut (limited to 1 per person)  $2

Fruit Box                                            $2

Details of the week can be found in the below posters.  Hoping students are support this very worthy cause.
