Lentern Appeal: Marist can collection

Marist delivered the goods over Lent with a can collection for local food banks. The School collected 3811 cans. Marist accounted for 1039!!A new 'one day' record of 820 cans helped us place second in the tally. An incredible effort backed by some ingenious, clever planning from our leaders. Jason Jarvis floated the idea of a bbq. This was backed and organised by the students who are also members of the 'Young Vinnies'. The bbq was supported by Miranda (St Pat's catering) who persuaded local suppliers 'Active Marketing' and 'French Maid' to donate product. This enable the students to raise enough to purchase over 300 cans from New World, Lower Hutt (through Mrs Law's connections).'

Another example of Marist quality.
