Principal’s Message
THAT’S A GREAT IDEA!
As part of their leadership responsibilities, the members of the Year 6 Student Leadership team are encouraged
to find a “worthy cause” to support, and develop an activity to provide awareness and support.
Last Friday the team presented their initiative of supporting the children attending the Happy Days Village School
in Cambodia, to the Year 3 -6 Assembly.
As we know the greatest gift we can give to children is a good education. Many of the children in this area of
Cambodia have quite a distance to travel to this Happy Days School. A bicycle would make this so much easier,
so our initiative is to donate funds to enable the purchase of bicycles for the community.
The funds go directly to the village as it is a not for profit charity developed and directly managed by the Pawley
family from the northern beaches. The Year 6 team met with Mr Mike Pawley last week and were assured that
no funds would be wasted with administrative fees and our idea could make an enormous difference to the
families of the village area.
This link is to the video that the Year 6 leaders showed at assembly last week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yynv1Cuursk
and there is more information on their website: http://www.happydayscambodianvillageschoolinc.org.au/
The fundraising effort will form part of the upcoming Pedlars Parade activities in two weeks time. More
information about the day will be included in next weeks newsletter.
