Money for tsunami victims

Umina Public School students have raised $1175 recently to go towards aiding tsunami victims in South East Asia.

The money will be forwarded to School Aid, the body responsible for organising this Australia-wide appeal.

Gold coin donations raised $826 and, with the raffle, an additional $349 was raised.

The four raffle prize-winners, who each won a $25 gift voucher, were Mitchell White, Lenae Kemp, Jordyn Mitchell and Erin Player.

The proceeds will be used, along with money from schools across Australia, to assist in the rebuilding of schools and childrens' lives across the tsunami-affected areas.

The school had aimed to raise at least $1000 on the day.

Principal Mr John Blair thanked contributors for their generosity.
