On Tuesday the 21st of June the students held a Fund raising / Sponsorship night to help to work towards raising the $6000 that they need to assist in the funding of the Vet Mobility Scholarship Scheme.
This saw plenty of family / friends and industry representatives arriving at the Bunurong restaurant, located at the Frankston Campus of Chisholm Institute. Here, we were all treated to an evening of finger food which was expertly served by students from the VET in Schools Hospitality program.
Our MC for the night was the tour leader, Tony Bundock, and there was also a silent auction.
Each one of the students was invited to give a short presentation to those present and outline there projects and industry partnerships.
The evening raised a staggering $2800 after costs. This was largely due to some very generous organisations who supported the students. These were namely National Australia Bank, EE Muirs, Trandos Hydroponic Growers and AIS Greenworks.
This weekend the students will be at Akoonah Park market in Berwick and will be running a plant stall to try and raise the balance of the funds required. Their previous market day saw them raise nearly $1000 so they are certainly well on the way to achieving their targets.
