The Starlight Foundation aims to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Recently, Arcadia and Batavia Houses held our annual Starlight Day fundraising event to support the fantastic work that the foundation does. Funds were raised through donations for going uniform free and a sausage sizzle was held at lunchtime in the quadrangle.

There was a fantastic atmosphere with the Senior Music students performing some tunes and a huge crowd turning out to enjoy the food and witness a number of brave teachers getting drenched by wet sponges and buckets of water – all to support a good cause!

Later in the week, we had a bake sale, and there was a jellybean jar guessing competition. The event was a great success, and I am proud to say that we raised a grand total of $1844.70!

Thank you to the Student Councillors and members of Arcadia and Batavia Houses who assisted and to everyone who took part in the events.
