Students impress Red Cross members

Members from the Umina Beach Red Cross have been "pleasantly impressed" with the "composure, enthusiasm and maturity" of the students from Brisbane Waters Secondary College.

The students worked as unpaid volunteers as they raised funds for this year's Red Cross Calling campaign.

"The students were led by former principal and long-time Umina Red Cross volunteer Les Anderson and fellow Umina Red Cross member Eileen Stewart through local businesses raising nearly $1200 dollars," Australian Red Cross PR coordinator Ms Amber Edwards said.

Mr Anderson said: "Eileen and I were impressed with the effort put forward by these students and they are a credit to their families and to their school".
