Last week the school took part in “Fiver for a Farmer” an initiative started by a young school boy in Sydney that has caught on across the country.

St Joseph’s assistant principal Luisa Tavella was thrilled with the response from students, with $900 raised on the day through their donations, as well as those made from staff at the school.
“Through Drought Angels we are buying $100 pre-paid visa/fuel cards, which can be used to pay utility bills, fuel costs, school expenses, medical needs or stock feed,” she said.
Other schools and organisations in the shire have also participated in Fiver for Farmer in recent weeks.
