Relay for Life Op-Shop and Bake Sale

In preparation for Relay for Life, the Senate is organising an Op-shop to raise funds to go to Cancer Council. This will be a fun and new initiative that aims to broaden our platform of fundraising for this year’s event. This year we encourage the community to donate any BOARD GAMES, SPORTS EQUIPMENT, BOOKS or PLANTS. We will only accept donations from the above specified categories and items in good working order. 

 

These donations can be dropped off at the college from Tuesday 28 March to Thursday 30 March at the main office.  

 

The op-shop will be running at the Relay for Life event, providing a great opportunity for you to not only donate but purchase some preloved treasures. 

 

A baked goods stall. We would love families to bake some products that we can sell on the night. We are seeking sweet homemade products such as slices, cookies or cupcakes that we can individually package (eg. honeyjoys, brownies, cookies) and do NOT need to be refrigerated. 

 

We have provided some suggested recipes in an email to families. Please drop these off at the Early Years Reception or Main Office on either Thursday 30 March or Friday 31 March (before 10am) in a disposable container (if possible), labelled with ingredients. 

 

Every small act of kindness can go a long way toward combating cancer.  Thank you for your support!
