The Student Representative Council (SRC) at Cire Community School in Yarra Junction used all their organisation skills to host a Biggest Morning Tea event on Thursday 1 June.
Hosting a raffle among students and staff, organisers have nearly raised $300.
Wellbeing specialist at Cire Community School Keisha Van Straalen helped the SRC with the event and said the students had been amazing.
“We’ve been running around like headless chooks all morning, but these students are wonderful, the things that they can achieve and the things that they can do is amazing,” she said.
“We’ve had a lot of students, families and staff have been impacted by cancer, almost everybody has in their life and we thought it was a really great cause and an opportunity to bring everyone together and to raise some money.”
SRC students were hard at work, collecting donations, dishing out food and operating the coffee machine.
Kya was carrying a plate of croissants and said students polled the school to find out what they would like.
“We have sushi, croissants and even zucchini cupcakes with no zucchini because we didn’t have any.”
Matt was collecting donations and said it was a good responsibility to be given.
“You’re learning from it, how to organise an event for over 60 people and it’s a good feeling when everything and everyone comes together.”
