The Grade 7 yard sale was a success again this year!  Thank you to everyone that supported the event by either donating items or purchasing items.  The Grade 7 students and teachers would like to thank everyone who helped to make the yard sale such a success.  They raised an amazing Rs 90792 ($1664.83) which will go to Child Haven, UNICEF and the Blue Cross.  Thank you to the grade seven teachers, students and parents that gave the gift of time to organize and run the event. A special thanks to Mr Desmond and his wonderful team who made sure that everything went smoothly on the day.
