WelCom August 2022
Earlier this year, when our community of Sacred Heart Petone found out that a past student had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, we were devastated.
We wanted to do something to support Otis and his family and so we decided to hold a non-uniform day to raise money. We combined it with St Patrick’s Day celebrations and everyone was invited to
wear green.
To raise more funds, Year 7 student, Ben came up with an idea to shave his mullet off, which he had proudly grown for two and a half years. ‘It felt good to help raise money for Otis, it seemed like the right thing to do’ Ben said.
Together, our school raised a total of $1200 for Otis and his family.
