This year’s Red Shield Appeal was a remarkable community network event which combined the forces of about 350 boys and 95 parent and staff drivers who worked harmoniously with members of the Salvation Army and Rotary. Our Boys were on public show and at their charming best, looking resplendent in their blazer uniforms.

The Salvos were ecstatic with the outcome. We raised a total of $30,510 in cash on the day (with more still to come from the donation envelopes left in the letterboxes of those not at home). This is clearly a new record; significantly up from the $17,200 collected in 2014.

We hope the boys all enjoyed the day and learnt about the shared joy that comes from working together with our community to assist those less fortunate than ourselves. I would personally also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the parents and staff who gave up their Sunday morning to support the boys in this initiative.
