With the help of all staff members who helped out on the night, and whom in which worked endless hours behind the scenes, the Walkathon that was held on Friday 15th October, was an extremely successful night.

A big thankyou to Team Vinnies who ran the canteen with lollies and snacks, and much needed hot chocolates throughout the night.

Proceeds from the event were distributed between the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, along with the helping of a family fleeing Afghanistan.

Miss Santina, who is currently battling Brain Cancer, is a source of sunshine in all our lives. She always greeted everyone with a smile and nothing is an inconvenience. Miss Santina has lived her life with compassion, patience and kindness. She has experienced sadness, loss, along with trauma and joy, happiness and love but has kept her faith, the Love of Jesus at the centre of her heart through all of these times.

Miss Santina is a shining light in living our Learning Dispositions every day of her life and a wonderful role model for us all. This experience has opened our eyes to another form of cancer in which researchers are working hard to help find a cure and with your generous support we will be able to give them the funds to assist in this very important cause.

The funds of the event were also used to provide help and nurturing for a family from Afghanistan to help them with their journey over to Australia. With the help of these funds, they are able to have access to clothes, and items for their hygiene.

The night was long and was packed with activities to keep everyone on their toes throughout the entire night, but nevertheless, it was a night to remember, and was done in the spirit of good causes.
