The College’s Middle School community now proudly wears the badge of the best Relay for Life fundraiser in the region.

Figures just in from the Cancer Council show the Berwick Campus Middle School team raised a staggering $17,919.65 for cancer research.

The 111 teams which participated in the 2015 Casey event raised a combined total of $403,695.

Head of Middle School Clare Tuohy said the team was “absolutely thrilled” to learn the news.

“I feel very humbled to be part of the Berwick Campus Middle School and to be in a position to witness such a generous and compassionate community of students, parents the wider College staff members,” Mrs Tuohy said.

“Learning that Matters – Citizenship and Service, is at the very heart of our community and this amazing achievement at Relay for Life clearly demonstrates our commitment and dedication to making our world a better place for all.”

She thanked the parent and student committees, including Year 12 students Caitlyn H and Chelsea N for their help and to all staff for their support.
