Pupils pay their own<br />
way to school camp<br />

PARENTS FROM Heathcote<br />
Valley School won’t have to empty<br />
their wallets for this year’s school<br />
camp.<br />
The year 7 and 8 pupils have<br />
been out in force busking, dog<br />
walking, cleaning, hosting bake<br />
sales and delivering copies of <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News to raise money to<br />
cover their own camp fees.<br />
The final stash has been tallied<br />
and the 32 children have raised<br />
$4400 between them.<br />
Some pupils ended up with<br />
more than they needed, which<br />
was donated to the general fund<br />
to help out any children who<br />
hadn’t quite met their target.<br />
For every $100 they earned, the<br />
pupils were put into a draw to win<br />
a $500 or $<strong>25</strong>0 Harvey Norman<br />
voucher, which the company donated.<br />
Riley Malta took home first<br />
prize and Mia Fenton, who was<br />
away sick during the draw, won<br />
the second prize.<br />
Now they can look forward to<br />
the camp and spending four days<br />
at Peel Forest Eco Lodge learning<br />
teamwork, self-management, confronting<br />
self-doubt and learning<br />
more about the environment.<br />
The camp is often seen as the<br />
highlight for the senior pupils<br />
every year.<br />

THE DREAM<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> gardeners<br />
judged a cut above the rest<br />
DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> School<br />
took second in the national<br />
Garden to Table school of the<br />
year awards.<br />
It was the first year the<br />
awards have taken place and<br />
they attracted 70 entries<br />
nationwide from children and<br />
schools.<br />
Judges included gardening<br />
journalist Lynda Hallinan<br />
and chef and restauranteur Al<br />
Brown.<br />
Garden to Table executive<br />
officer Linda Taylor said the<br />
judges were “blown away” by<br />
the standard of applications<br />
received.<br />
“It’s fantastic to see such<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
enthusiasm for getting outside,<br />
being active and learning<br />
key skills that will see them<br />
through life. All the judges<br />
were incredibly impressed by<br />
the drive children showed for<br />
gardening,” she said.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School<br />
programme co-ordinator Lisa<br />
Hurry said the garden provided<br />
jobs for everyone from muscle<br />
work like moving compost and<br />
cleaning out the chicken coop<br />
to garden art, seed-sowing and<br />
watering.<br />
“This diversity allows everyone<br />
to participate, creating a<br />
sense of community within the<br />
garden,” she said.<br />
