On Friday 30 October Le Couteur House successfully sold 327 bandannas for National Bandanna Day. The money raised goes to an extremely worthy charity, CanTeen which helps young people who are being affected either directly or indirectly by cancer. 

With the money raised on National Bandanna Day, CanTeen is able to continue to provide programs to help young boys and girls get their mind off the stresses of their everyday lives, and provides them with opportunities to socialise with people who can empathise with their struggles.

Organised by House Captain Elliot Ulm (11/LE), this day went off without a hitch. With students from all Year groups getting involved a splash of colour was added to school uniforms in the form of a bandanna. Personally as a “team leader” I was astounded by the magnitude of enthusiasm from students and teachers who got involved. However, no one could match the enthusiasm exuded from the lovely Cafeteria ladies. Overall this was a great day with all proceeds going towards a very worthy cause.

The boys raised in total $1,687! An outstanding result for 2015.
