Arcadia and Batavia again joined forces this year to raise money in support of the Starlight Foundation, a charity that works to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Starlight Day was held in the last week of term. Students were able to donate to go uniform free, there was a lunchtime sausage sizzle (with entertainment provided by student musicians), a ‘guess the number of jellybeans’ contest, a colouring competition and later in the week, a cake stall. The winners of the jellybean guessing competition were Riley Hopkins and Olivia Zacher and the winners of the colouring competition were Robyn Woods and Elizabeth Jennings.

Thanks to the many students who got involved in planning, promoting and running the event, particularly the Arcadia and Batavia House Councils. I am very pleased to say that in total, $1943.55 was raised for the Starlight Foundation – well done everyone!
