On Friday 27 August, the School Council ran a mufti day to raise money for the Cancer Society. Everyone went to a lot of trouble and dressed up in yellow and green. Have a look at some of the contenders in the "Best Dressed" competition, judged by a representative of the National Bank.

Mr Ward's interview

The 2010 Westburn School Daffodil Day fund raising event was an extremely successful event, raising over $1,000! Here's Mr Ward's opinion.


Mr Ward's interview:
How happy are you about this event?

Extremely happy and delighted by how willing our students were to give to this worthwhile event.


How happy are with this year's results compared to last year's?

Very pleased with the outcome. I think we as a school achieve great results almost every year, but I'm still very pleased with the final outcome of over one thousand dollars.


Was is a worthwhile event in your eyes?

Most definitely and I'd like to thank the student council for putting so much effort and time into this fantastic event.


Do you think giving all the money to the Cancer Society encourages the children to give more?

Personally, yes, but I guess that's a question you would have to ask the kids to get the real answer.


Are you considering doing the daffodil hunt again next year?


Maybe but I'm always open to new ideas.


Have you got any ideas for next year's Daffodil Day? If so please post a comment and tell us what you would like to have included. Remember, just leave your first name, what class you're in and, of course, your idea.
