19 of our students, known as "Team Toukley", recently participated in the 2013 Relay for Life at Mingara. After setting up a rainbow themed camp site the entire team walked the first lap together. The team then took turns in walking the track in half hour lots according to a pre determined walking roster. Every single student waited eagerly to take their turn in walking the track.
Team Toukley's fund raising activities for the event included face painting, nail painting and spraying hair with different colours. All up Team Toukley raised in excess of $3,000 for the Cancer Council.
Team Toukley kept the walking all throughout the night. The students really joined the spirit of the occasion. This was a wonderful experience for all concerned - children, parents, Mr Gillett, Miss Weeks and Ms Wilson.
A big thank you must go to local businesses who provided the team with bread and meat for them to eat and maintain the stamina for the event.
Parent, Kristie Wagstaff, has written this recount of the occasion. It is well worth the read:
