World Vision .   Our outreach for this year see's a strong student input and it is just great to hear of all the inovative ways in which students are gaining sponsorship for their efforts.   Some are giving up favourite video games, some not talking, some sleeping in cardboard boxes, some going with out electricity for several hours.  These are just a few of the positive responses.   It is to be remembered that students do not have to go without food

This activity takes place this coming weekend however if this doesn't suit some families the next available weekentd is fine. 

We commend these students for their caring response and wish them all the very best.
