Engaruka School Project – in memory of past Student ‘Walk the Talk’
In 2017, a wonderful Shore student, Marcus Morris, died tragically. One of the things that Marcus was about to do was visit a rural area in Tanzania called Engaruka. Sadly, he didn’t get there due to his death. In his memory, a school is being established in Engaruka by his family and friends.
There is no school in the Engaruka region, so Shore students and staff have been raising money to help build this school. The building work has begun, but a large proportion of the funds are still needed.
The Chapel Offertories last Term raised just over $3,000. So, a BIG thank you to the Students and staff who gave generously!
However, I have decided that I can’t just talk to the boys about this great cause – I need to ‘walk the talk’. So, I am doing the ‘Six Foot Track’ walk in one day as a fundraiser! It is 42 kilometres of walking along bush tracks from Jenolan to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, normally a three-day walk.
If you would like to support the building of this School, then please donate through my GoFund page:
All donations are Tax Deductible. I will be doing the fundraiser with Marcus’ godfather, Martin. If you donate, a receipt will be sent to you automatically.
Even $5 will make a difference.

If you would like to visit me in the hospital after the event, then send me a message!
