After three weeks open to bidding this year’s silent auction came to a finale on Sunday 14th November with some exciting final bidding at the close.  A fantastic effort by all involved enabled an incredible $5,095 to be raised from 24 items kindly donated by the generous students, staff, parents and broader school community.  We would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you who helped bring this important fundraiser to fruition, without whom, there would have been no auction.  In particular, we would like to thank the Class 4 parents; James Fordham, Julie Hutton and Susie de Zoete for taking up the mantle of coordinators; the assistance of Clare Gordon and Jonathon Rush; the class parents and teachers for inspiring the children and bringing the artworks to completion; the creatives who kindly donated individual pieces and finally, Melony for showcasing the artworks at Castlecrag campus and facilitating payment and pick-up.  Thank you all for your input.
