casual clothes day :D

The air smells like smoke over here today...the sky is a dodgy colour and the sun casts a bright red glow on everything...


We had casual clothes day today :D and raised almost $10,000 for the bushfires, and 3 truckfuls of clothing. MASSIVE effort!! It was meant to be just a gold coin donation, but obviously people went really far...I gave in $5, someone gave in $20 and an international student donated $50 D: There was a story on the news about a little country school with 200 people and they raised $4000, which was almost stolen by looters who are going through the fire wreck and trying to steal anything undamaged :(

Ironically we had an emergency fire drill practice...I was hoping it would just be a code-blue lockdown drill coz the usual assemble place (the oval) was being re-turfed and the sprinklers were on. We ended up having to cram the ENTIRE school onto 2 tennis courts, which sucked...there were bees and it was bloody hot :(
