88 To Educate Charity Campdraft

NINETY. SIX. THOUSAND. FIVE. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. 💵💵💵

No, it's not a typo! You read it right! It is right!

We came together as a community and we achieved something beyond our wildest dreams 👉 we raised $96,500 at our inaugural Pacific Seeds - Australia 88 to Educate Charity Campdraft.

We've said it before, but we really need to say it again, THANK YOU, to absolutely everyone who had a hand in contributing to this figure - we couldn't have achieved this result without your support!

Now the good news...

💰 Your money is going to make a difference much quicker than we thought!

This bumper amount of cash means St Pat's can fast-track it's development plans!

With ASPECT Design Studios engaged to update St Pat's Master Plan after their November school visit, planning is underway to begin refurbishment of the current prep classroom in January 2027!

The team are also preparing a building grant application to submit to the QLD Catholic Education Commission in Term 2 of next year - this will give us additional funds to cover a new multipurpose classroom at the front of the school and the refurbishment of the current prep classroom.

📅 We will be back in 2027! Stay tuned for dates!

Once darkness fell, to the tunes of Jac & Jill, Jan's jam plopped on number 51 and Tom Peters was rich - until he generously donated his winnings back to the cause!
