SRC Malawi ‘Adopt a Goat’ Fundraiser

Congratulations to the Wyvern community for raising enough money to buy 61 goats for the Malawi ‘Adopt a Goat’ Fundraiser. We are aiming to reach 100 goats by the end of term to help create a goat farm for the village of Kasupe in Africa. Well done to all the classes or Year groups who have had little activities to raise funds. A special thank you to Year 3, who raised enough money to buy 11 goats by holding a cake stall on Friday 24 May.

On the last day of term (Friday 21 June) we will be holding an African themed hat party. All boys are able to create their best African Hat and wear it throughout the day. Prizes will be given for the boys in each Year group with the best hat. Entry into the competition will be via a gold coin donation.

To help motivate the Wyvern boys, Mr Holden has agreed to give the boys some ‘golden time’ or free time on the last day of school if they raise enough money to buy 100 goats. Happy fundraising!

Parents can also be involved in this important fundraiser. Mr Holden has finally cleaned out his storeroom and we are looking for the following items to help support Malawi.

1. Suitcases (by the end of Term 2).
We need bags to transport clothes, books and stationary to Kasupe. Small or medium size soft suitcase or sports bags with or without wheels.  Doesn’t matter what condition they are in as long as the zips work.

2. Items for a second hand sale in November.
We are looking for items such as:

  • Clothes – ladies, mens, children and infants
  • Shoes, hand bags, hats, scarves, sarongs and jewellery
  • Small household knick knacks – such a  fabrics, table cloths, cushions and doona covers (in good condition), unusual and quirky knick knacks, vases, china and ornaments
  • No electronics

Thank you for your support
