The Fairholme College Interact Club initiated a fundraising campaign in response to the tragic bushfires which devastated so much of Victoria. A gold coin collection netted $3000 which was donated to the Myer Bushfire Appeal and Myer matched donations dollar for dollar. The Free Dress Day, where girls came dressed in orange, netted a further $2400 for the Australian Red Cross. We extend our sincere thanks to all families who gave so generously to support this cause.
The Hollywood Tour runs for 21 days, with over 32 classes in the course. During the Tour, choreographer Andre Fuentes, will be teaching and preparing all participants for a concert “Carnival” with a percentage of the audience consisting of members looking for prospective professional dancers.
FOCUS on Fairholme Autumn 2009
