Support for family

Students at St John the Baptist, along with friends and friendly, recently came together to support a family at the school.

"Late last year a tragedy hit one of the families at St John the Baptist Primary School," family liaison officer Ms Beth Riley said.

Ms Riley said a hasty note went home informing families of the school that Ashley's Angels, a charitable body of people who support the family, would love anyone to join them at the school at 8am Friday morning to participate in a radio competition.

"Most of the school turned up with family and friends in tow," Ms Riley said.

"We did not win the money but what a heartwarming response it was to see such a turn out with such short notice and so early."
