If you’re a couple of students who live on properties near Glen Innes, you decide to raise money to help those who are struggling.
That’s what Hope McIntyre who lives near Pinkett and Tori Potter who lives near Wellingrove are going to do on August 17.
They’re both in Year 11 at the High School and they plan a sausage sizzle, a raffle and other events to raise money. There would be a mufti day where students could come to school not in uniform and pay for the privilege.
On their family properties, they are now buying in feed. One of their fathers works down near Tamworth where the state of the ground is really bad – “It’s like you’re on the road there”.
Geography and history teacher, Kelly Gaden, said: “It’s great that these two girls have developed this idea on their own and approached the school to get the community involved”.
