A WOOLLY FUNDRAISING EVENT Glentunnel Home & School Association is organising a unique fundraising event, The Woolly Wonder Fundraiser, to support the enhancement of the school's sports programs and facilities. Known for its dedication to enriching the children's experiences, Home & School have previously sponsored initiatives like senior ski trips, the Glentunnel School bike track, new rugby posts, and covered fees for the Harold Life Education Trust – all benefiting the community. This time, however, the group is bringing a rural twist to its fundraising efforts, creating even more opportunities for the kids. The initiative for this exciting new fundraiser came from school parent Alex Woodhouse (Woody), who is also a former student. He says it is a fantastic way to engage with the community, offer
If all goes according to plan The Woolly Wonder Fundraiser, organised by Glentunnel Home & School Association, will become an annual tradition.
something unique, and create new opportunities for the children. He has generously offered the use of his farm and has been the driving force in organising the event. As a rural school with many farming families in the community, the Association
decided it would be perfect to incorporate a rural element into the fundraiser. The concept involves black and red raffle tickets, each number corresponding to the ewe's ear tag number. The first 12 ewes to enter the yard will be the prize winners. To add an extra layer of excitement, on the placing of each ewe, a coin toss will determine the winning ticket colour. The draw will be held on May 14 at Kinsale, a working farm in Glentunnel. For health and safety reasons, the event is not
open to the public. However, you won't miss out, as the draw will be filmed with drone footage. The farm has kindly reached out to its regular suppliers and along with other businesses secured some fantastic sponsorship for the event. The prize pool, valued at $3,500, includes a range of incredible prizes. Tickets can be purchased from Glentunnel School Office, Glentunnel Store, Challis Motorcycles and Darfield Property Brokers.
