CanTeen is an Australia-wide organisation designed to support, develop and empower young people living with cancer. This includes not only cancer patients, but their brothers and sisters and young people with parents or primary carers with cancer. CanTeen is Le Couteur’s House charity and this term the boys have been busy raising money to help make sure young people living with cancer don’t have to face it alone.

Early in January this year, friend of the College, Mr Kendall Warren organised a Cricket ‘test’ match between two competitive sides – one containing our very own Head of House, Mr Potter! The day was a great success with each participant donating $50 to CanTeen. The mix of player ability meant that the two 20 over games were nail-biting and everyone had a chance to have a ‘crack’, enjoy themselves and raise some money for a worthy charity.

On Friday 6 May during the Le Couteur House meeting, the House warmly welcomed Mr Warren who presented Mr Potter with a cheque for $700. This  generous donation was a wonderful contribution and will assist Le Couteur fundraising for CanTeen.

A big thanks from Le Couteur goes out to Mr Warren who organised the day and all who participated in helping to raise the money.
