Students for Scozzi

Shore students show support for esteemed teacher

“Students for Scozzi” is a fundraising initiative being held in support of one of Shore’s most loved teachers and long serving Master in Charge of Surf Life Saving, Mr Nigel Scozzi. Mr Scozzi unfortunately suffered a critical spinal injury whilst surfing earlier this year. The boys have since banded together to support Nigel and his family in achieving the goal of his returning home from the rehabilitation hospital, where he currently resides. 

The fundraiser has seen many young men of the Shore Community use their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to raise $100 (without asking their parents for the money!) to donate to Nigel Scozzi’s GoFundMe page. To date, the boys have hosted lemonade stands at Balmoral Beach, gardened, walked dogs, completed run and swimming challenges, washed cars and much more.

In addition to demonstrating the high regard in which Mr Scozzi is held by the boys, the initiative is also a good opportunity to learn about the importance of giving and building community. Pictured are just some of the fundraising activities which have been undertaken.

Additional fundraising activities are being planned for October and further details will be sent out shortly by Dr Collier. Please keep an eye on your email inbox for more information!
