Wednesday 26 June Team Meeting

Less than 2 months until we leave for Bali, team!

Our next team meeting is on Wednesday 26 June at 3:40 pm at Duncraig. It is vital that ALL students attend this meeting. Please make arrangements to ensure that you are there for it. Mr Drake will be in touch with Carramar students about transport to Duncraig for the meeting.

Important information regarding flight details and what to pack will be provided via this blog in the coming weeks before that meeting.

Another $230 for the tour.

Thanks for helping out on Friday night and today at recess selling cakes. We split the money we made on Friday night – 50/50 – with the Bethanie Tour. That plus the money we made from selling some drinks gave us $230 for Bali Life! Great effort at short notice everyone. Well done!

Duncraig Bake Sale

Hello Team

Thank you for your contributions towards the Senior Music Concert last night. We teamed up with Bethanie Home (Malaysia) Tour Group and sold around half of the cakes/slices etc. Miss Prosser (Bethanie Home Tour Team) and I decided to pack the rest up and store them in the fridges in Carana and Timae. On Monday we will get them out and sell them at recess and/or lunch in the Quad. We’ll email you (Duncraig team) with instructions so please read your emails on Monday morning.

Kind regards

Ms Tinney

$10 000!

It’s official. We have cracked the $10 000 mark with our fundraising for Bali Life!

Well done everyone. That is terrific.

Let’s hope tonight at the Senior Music Concert (Duncraig) that we can bring home a couple of hundred dollars more to give to Bali Life.

Pat yourselves on the back. We are an awesome team.

Thank God too for the amazing opportunities we have been provided with to make a difference in the world like this.

Quiz Night

Good morning Team

Last night we took in just over $1500 in cash at the Quiz Night. That coupled with the ticket sales sees us raising around $2500 through the Quiz Night overall. Isn’t that fabulous!

$575 of that was raised through the Silent Auction so thank you so much for the effort you went to, to get donations from sponsors, that really paid off!

Please join us in thanking Mr Tim Drake for his amazing work in putting together all the questions for the evening. It was such a good night!
