**CANS MUFTI.** Cans mufti was on friday 24th of september and it was a great turn out. Also even better it was on the last day of term 3. so what was the purpose of having cans mufti?well the purpose of having cans mufti is for our willing school to help out people that struggle and don’t have any money to buy their own food.The food then goes off to the local food bank were it helps children and family’s have a substantial meal.So if you think about it the people that contributed to cans mufti helped a large amount of people that do not have any access to food.Also if we have a reflection from the Leo’s club talent quest that was really good and thank you to all the people that attended.All of that money will be sent to a specific hospital and will help children that are sick have operations to help them if their family’s can not afford to pay.So thank you to all the people that gave cans i am sure that you would have made a big difference to the more unfortunate peoples life and also to the people that came and watched the amazing performances.I am also sure that you made a difference to peoples life as well.And last but not least thank you to the Leo’s club and also the class councilors for making the last day of term 3 a day to remember.
