Good evening everyone

We are hearing some great stories of how people have been or are planning to meet their fundraising targets.  Please let us know of any projects that you are doing and we will promote them through the blog so that people who follow the blog can support you all.

Also a gentle reminder that the second instalment is due this week.  Please use the online link to transfer funds.  With this round of instalments we will now have sufficient funds to begin making payments on our land based activities.  If you have any concerns please contact one of the tour leaders.

Mr Thomas

A big congratulations to everyone that supported our “Drum for a Cause” evening on Wednesday night.  The weather was very kind to us and it was great to see everyone have a go at the drumming.  Based on our ticket sales we have raised just over $1500 from the night!  Please pass on our thanks to the many members of your family and friends who supported the event.

There are a few students who haven’t handed in their money yet.  Please arrange to hand in to your tour leader this week or transfer into the online fundraising account.

We have also heard some of the great ideas that people have been coming up with for their personal fundraising.  Where you can, try and include other tour members to help you share the load.

Next up – Car washes and sausage sizzles!

I hope you are all excited for an enjoyable evening tomorrow night.  The weather looks great and tickets sales have been positive.  We are expecting about 150 people which will be fantastic.

A couple of details for students about tomorrow:

• You will be picked up @ 3.30pm and transported to Carramar.
• Your choice of clothes for the evening
• Don’t forget to deposit your money through the link or hand to one of the tour leaders
• Bring a salad to share. (Don’t ask your parents to do it!)
• Let your family and friends know where to park and where we will be located.  It should be easy as the noise of the drums will be pretty easy to locate (see map below)
• Have a practise at your drumming skills tonight at home in preparation!

See you tomorrow

Mr Thomas

Hello All,

Some students have been asking what they are required to wear for tomorrow nights drumming extravaganza. You can wear what you like – school uniform is not required.

Kind regards,

Mr Merrifield

Hello Duncraig Students,

This is just a quick reminder to please let me know the final number of tickets you have sold for the drumming event this Wednesday at Carramar as well as the salad you are bringing. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Mr Merrifield

Due to a conflict of venues, we have made the decision to relocate the Drum for a Cause event.  It will now be held on the Carramar Campus Common.  Arrangements are being made to transport students to Carramar for the event.  We understand that this may be an inconvenience to some, however this decision was not taken lightly.

In addition we have been able to extend the time that the Drummers will be performing.  They will now start at 6pm.

It is a great night of entertainment as can be seen in the video below.

Hello Duncraig Students,

Could you please meet Ms Everett and myself in A7 at the start of lunch tomorrow (Thursday 11/10) to discuss the Drum for a Cause event next Wednesday.

Kind regards,

Mr Merrifield

Welcome back to school after a couple of weeks holiday.  We hope that you had a restful and enjoyable time.

There is 8 days to go until our first fundraising night – the Drum for a Cause evening.  Hopefully you have been busy promoting the event and selling tickets to family and friends.  It is a really enjoyable night and I am sure that everyone will have a great time.  Remember that all the tickets that are sold by students go to their individual fundraising allocation so push hard over the next week!!

The afternoon will begin with a presentation to the students on the history of South Africa from 4 – 5pm.  We will then begin setting up the tables, chairs and bbqs for the evening.

If you have any queries or need more tickets, please see your Tour Leader.

Mr Thomas
