We wish to encourage our students to develop a compassion for those in society who are less privledged. We are proud of our students who are making a difference in the world through their actions. They also give blood donations for the Red Cross and sponsor a child in Africa.
This run helps support our annual community and compassion trip to Bali.
Please support us to reach our target to raise $3000 from this Fun Run. Every donation no matter what the amount plays a big part in improving the lives of so many.
