School for Samoa featured on Channel 7 News

Posted by Franz Huber on Jul 22, 2017
Last Saturday 22th July, the team at The Shed, led by Des La Rance, together with a group of students from the Northern Collegiate of High Schools, including Helensvale, Coombabah, Coomera High Schools, were interviewed by Channel 7 (see picture above, by Al Sirovs).  The segment featured on Saturday evening's Gold Coast News.  To view it, click on this link: https://www.facebook.com/840702249361798/videos/1348880745210610/
 
The school is almost completed and just about ready to be disassembled and stacked into a container, to be shipped to Apia, Samoa, where it will be re-constructed in September.  Our team from Surfers Sunrise will be joined by a group of students from various schools from the Northern Collegiate, who have worked hard to raise funds - yes, the conventional way: movie nights, sausage sizzles...  Next time somebody gives you a whinge along the lines of "today's youth just aren't the same anymore", point them to this link: https://www.facebook.com/NCprojectsamoa/
