Biggest Morning Tea       

On the 23rd of May, Kew High took part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea by selling an assortment of homemade sweets and treats to students and staff at lunchtime. It involved a huge effort from our student leaders who baked over 30 different desserts, whilst hot  chocolate was provided by Ms Carter, all available at a low price. The abundance of sugar delighted students and was at a quality high enough to make George Calombaris drool. A total of $501.30 was raised, all to be donated to the Cancer Council to provide life-saving research, prevention, support programs and information. A huge thank you to all our student leaders who baked and contributed on the  day.

Hosting a tea is a fun and rewarding way...

We have a long-standing tradition at Kew. It began well over a decade ago. A small group of staff co ordinated our  coming  together around the tables in the staff room for the Biggest Morning Tea as a fund raiser for Cancer. Sadly one of those original staff members, Cathy Volpe, has since died of cancer. We have all been touched by cancer during our lives and this occasion provides us all with the opportunity to gather round, offer warmth, support, strength and positivity, reflect for a moment on life and remember those we know who have passed away or are having treatment. This year staff donated $846.60 to this very worthy cause. Hopefully efforts like ours will make a difference, improve detection and treatment and assist with the  research to find the causes and provide the cures.
