On Friday the 4th of September the students created a Coin-Line under our school assembly COLA.
Mr Trickett had drawn an outline of Cambodia onto the concrete and students who had brought coins from home for their Mufti-Day and to donate to under-privileged children in Cambodia, cared for by the Aid group "RAW Impact", covered the outline with coins from 5c to $2.
Developing in students, the idea that doing something for somebody else, that will create a benefit in the future that you may not even see, is a great thing. This idea of paying forward is worth developing and everybody has the potential to make our community and the world a better place.
Mr Trickett
will be visiting RAW Impact's village on Gunty's Island in Cambodia in the September holidays with his daughter. He will be handing over some small gifts from our school and the money raised from the Coin Line which was just over $300 which was contributed by our school families but also some local Stockinbingal ladies with special thanks to Daphne Bone for collecting this.
Mr Trickett will take photos of the visit to bring back to school, and maybe even post on a holiday blog that parents and students can follow.
Later in the day we also made some Cambodian influenced artworks based on the famous Angkor Wat, the largest religious temple in the world, built around the 12th century.
