The Year 9 commerce class (40 students) from Oxford Falls Grammar School recently held a 'stalls day' to teach them about running a business. The purpose was to gain as much profit as possible. The students raised a massive $500 and have decided to donate the money to the Bridge of Hope Sumompo Rubbish Dump Project.  The overall aim of this project is to improve the standard of living for families living on Manado's Rubbish dump, many of whom, including children, earn their living by scavenging for recycable items, 8-10 hours a day, six days a week.
Well done to all the students involve who as their teachers, Emma Conroy & Zoe Pearcy, said the students truly believe in the idea of "think globally - act locally".
