Girls Night In: Update from our College Co-Captains
We would like to take this opportunity to extend a huge thank you to the College community for supporting the 2024 Girls Night In and making it such a great success. We are so grateful to the over 150 students that volunteered to run stalls, supervise, or assist with the planning and organising of the night
Also a big thank you to everyone who attended Girls Night In and bought items, whether it was a sausage sizzle, Dippin’ Dots, handmade resin objects, guessing the number of balloons in the car, raffle tickets, lolly bar or second hand clothing. The night was very successful, with over 500 attendees and over 45 stalls.
We are truly honoured and humbled to have had the opportunity to lead this amazing student initiative for the fourth year in a row and also make it our own. Whilst raising a significant amount of money for the Cancer Council it was also a wonderful sense of community on the night.
We are SO EXCITED to announce that this year we have raised $18 527.66.
These funds will go straight to the Cancer Council, towards a cause that affects so many people in Australia each and every year. One in seven women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Approximately one woman under the age of 40 is expected to die each week from breast cancer. That’s nine Australians a day dying from the disease. In the last ten years, breast cancer diagnosis has increased by 21%.
Girls Night In not only raised funds in support, but also much needed awareness for this cause. Finally, we would like to thank our leadership team for their ongoing support! Without the dedication of our fellow Yr 12 leaders, and the student leaders from year 7 to year 11, this event would not have been possible! A special thanks also to Ms Sukkar for her ongoing dedication and support – we couldn’t do it without you!
Thanks again to everyone for your engagement and support of this event, we look forward to many more amazing initiatives throughout the rest of this year.
