For the second year in a row, the Burdekin Christian College and Zonta Club, has organised a Christmas Dress-Up Day and Christmas Pop-Up Treat Shop, in order to raise money for charity.
Towards the end of Term 4, BCC staff and their students joined in the Christmas spirit wearing their best Christmas costumes. The Z-Club also held a Christmas Pop-Up Treat Shop with lots of treats and goodies, which were sold on the day to the delicious delight of many.
There were also prizes awarded for the best dressed Christmas costumes, and worthy winners were: Arlo Flynn, Dani Broadhead, Amity Crosswell, Sophie Wilkie, and Isabella Cole, who each received a Christmas Goodie Bag for their efforts.
“It was so hard to decide on the winners because everyone looked amazing,” says Rachel Cornelius, BCC Chaplain and teacher.
“At the end of the day it didn’t matter who won a Christmas Goodie Bag, because we think they were all winners. But it was Hope In A Suitcase who was the most deserving,” she says.
A total of $506 was raised and the money was donated to ‘Hope In A Suitcase’, a non-profit organisation run entirely by passionate and dedicated volunteers who provide suitcases for children going into foster care or out of home care.
The day was a great success with many students and BCC teachers all participating to ensure that Hope In A Suitcase, took home as many donations as possible.
