A group of Melton students have helped raise more than $67,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation (RCHF).
Students from OneSchool Global’s seven Victorian campuses, including Melton, were involved in the charitable initiative and initially set themselves a target of raising $50,000.
OneSchool Global principal Simon Beaumont said the school raises money for RCHF annually.
“it is so inspiring to see [students] using their own initiative to rally the support of the school community,” he said.
“This year, the OSG Victorian campuses have far exceeded their $50,000 target, raising an incredible $67,671 for sick kids.”
Melton students took a trip through time with their Market of the Millennium, with treat-laden stalls themed to different eras from the past as part of the fundraiser.
Royal Children’s Hospital fundraising co-ordinator Georgia Gribble said OneSchool Global students have raised more than $200,000 for the foundation in recent years.
“These funds have gone towards the hospital’s specialist care wards and intensive care unit, and we are very thankful for the support of OSG students,” she said.
