Creek Street Read-a-Thon organiser Merilyn Tatt said she was extremely proud of the way the students rallied behind the fundraiser, in which they are sponsored to read.
“It was great to see so many students supporting their school by collecting sponsorship and participating in this fantastic initiative,” Merilyn said.
Fundraising Group general manager Brendan Hopp said it was wonderful schools had taken to the new fundraiser.
“We've found schools and students have really embraced the concept, improving their literacy all while raising some great extra money for their school,” he said.
The funds will go towards new playground equipment.
