6W Fundraiser for the Red Cross a Great Success

FOOD STALLS

Some of the amazing students in 6W bought ingredients and made delicious treats to raise money for the Red Cross. These treats included toffees, honey joys, cookies, cupcakes and chocolate. A few of the desserts were rewards from cool games like golf and “separate the legos” which were displayed on the grass area behind the Year 6 Centre.

Some statements from fellow peers of Year 6:

“I loved the rocky road! They tasted nice and there were a lot of flavours.”
— Surabhi Parab

“The honey joys were very good and so, so sweet.”
— Bridget Jones

GAMES

We had a variety of games and rewards that could be earned from winning the game. One of the games was golf, organised by Georgina in 6W, and in order to win, you had to push the ball into the hole three times in a row!

Another game was Nikhita’s ‘Separate the Legos Into Their Respective Colours’, and this one was a hit! We interviewed Sofia, the winner, about how she felt about this game.

“Nikhita’s game of legos was very entertaining. Knowing the cause, I was happy to do it.” Says Sofia, after winning the special prize of an entire box of chocolates.

On the same table as Nikhita’s legos, we had the classic ‘Guess How Many Lollies In the Jar’, organised by Melisande. Our beloved winner was Aalea, and she took home 122 sweets.

CRAFTS

Other students who weren’t involved in treats or games, designed homemade cards or created lip glosses and soaps. We had much more craft, like bracelets and rings, and they sold out almost immediately! Only a few were left after the singular lunchtime — when the event was held —anyone who came would immediately agree that it was the success of the century.

Here are some statements from peers who brought crafts:

“The slime was good and so was the lip balm. Everything was so cute!”
— Stephanie El’Atrache

“The crocheted keychains were such good quality.”
— Emma Sugianto

“Liesl made such good bracelets, I got a purple and yellow one, so cute!“
— Katherine Woo

All in all, there is no doubt that 6W has worked very hard the past few weeks, and most people who visited the stalls were pleased with the quality of their purchases. I know that the entire class of 6W was ecstatic that Michelle Wyatt announced we would be organising an event and donating our money to the Red Cross. So here is some information about the Red Cross and their campaign:

“Ukraine has been recently stormed by Russian lieutenants. Cities including Odessa, and Kyiv have been viciously bombed. And Russian invaders have almost completely conquered their land. Families have been torn apart, with drowning hopes and little faith. Young children forced to flee, abandoning their adored families.

Currently, Ukraine requires immediate medical and humanitarian attention. With our earnings, we will assist hundreds of struggling Ukrainians.

Red Cross

The conflict in Ukraine intensified in early February, and since then, the Red Cross has been providing immense moral and physical support. Some of this includes a massive distribution of hygiene and bedding items; and more than 100 critical care products. The Red Cross Foundation is entirely dependent upon aid and donations, including a steady flow of money to support families and children.”
