A class project created by students at Horsham’s St Brigid’s College has provided financial support for Wimmera cancer patients.
Year 11 and 12 VET students in the college’s small business class created their own range of products, which they sold at a pop-up shop in Horsham Plaza earlier this year. All money raised from the sale was donated to the Wimmera Cancer Centre in Horsham.
Centre manager Carmel O’Kane accepted the $889 cheque and thanked the students and their teacher Chris Rook for their efforts.
“It’s so lovely to see young people contributing to their community while learning new skills and developing a business acumen at the same time,” Ms O’Kane said.
