ALL FUNDS RAISED GO TOWARDS THE HALL REFURBURSHMENT AND BANDS OF MANLY CAMPUS

CALL OUT TO MSC STUDENTS and FAMILIES! Sunday 13 August 2017 Every year the Bands of Manly Campus are invited to volunteer at the annual City to Surf fun run at Bondi Beach’s finish line to raise funds for our band programs. Our job is fun, simple, and extremely important. Manly Campus is highly regarded by the organisers for our excellent customer service. This is a highlight of our school’s fundraising events. What we have to do Take bags belonging to the runners from trucks and place them in numerical order so that when the runners arrive at the finish line we can give the bags back to them.

What we get LOTS OF FUN, beach morning and community spirit! • We get paid for every person who attends: family, friends, this is open to everyone, not just Manly Campus students, although we want to see as many of you there! In 2016 we raised almost $4000. More people = > $$ • Event T-shirt Morning Tea • Duke of Ed 4 volunteering hours • School achievement awards for community service (equivalent to 4 x pink merits) • Year 10 students 6 hours can go towards your 20 hour volunteering quota. • 10kg block of chocolate for the school year with most participants Details Location: Near finish line at Bondi Beach Arrival time: 6:30am Estimated finish time: 10-11am (due to road closures) Parking: Limited car parking is available, so car-pooling is a must! If you can bring a car full of people let us know ASAP- we aim to get you a parking permit at a nearby car park. There are shuttle buses to take us from the car park to the beach. Contact: Call Angela Aguam on 0422 618780, or email [email protected] to volunteer for this event by Sunday 6 August. Everyone is welcome.
