Our children have the opportunity to collect for a various range of community organisations during their own time and at school.  These are some that we have been involved with this year.
 

2019

Salvation Army
These wonderful children and their parents collected for The Salvation Army Annual Appeal. They did this in their own time and completed a REAL Challenge at the same time. Fantastic REAL heroes!



Forward Foundation Coin Trail
Lily,  Lily, Maxi, Azarnia, Samara, Piper and Keira from Ruru  Studio held a coin trail to raise funds for the Forward Foundation, an organisation helping young female leaders in sport.  They presented $153.50 to Rebecca Wardell (Olympian, Commonweath Games and World Champs representative) who came in to speak with us about the amazing journey she has been on.  Rebecca has cycled from Switzerland to New Zealand taking over 300 days and raising money on the way.

These children completed a Community REAL Challenge by collecting, with their parents, for the SPCA Annual Appeal.  Thank you very much to everyone who helped!
