Inverell High School’s Year 12 students will hand over more than $20,000 to the Inverell Rescue squad at their formal tonight.
Over the past 12 months, the students, supported by their teachers and year advisers, have devoted considerable time and effort to fundraising and selected Inverell VRA Rescue Squad to be their nominated charity this year with funds raised going towards much-needed vertical rescue equipment.
Inverell Captain with VRA Rescue NSW Brodie Warner says students raised money by conducting an auction night, car wash, raffles and a trivia night in their own time providing a powerful reminder of the community spirit that sustains volunteer rescue services.
Mr Warner says the formal and cheque handover provides an opportunity to recognise the students’ achievement and share a positive local story about young people making a meaningful difference in their community.
