Support for Mr Quilty

                                                 

Our amazing school community has so far raised over $3500 to support the SAN Integrated Cancer Support Centre at Sydney Adventist Hospital in honour of Mr Dan Quilty and his fight with lymphoma.

 

A number of students and staff shaved their heads or donated their long hair as part of the fundraising activities. We would like to also acknowledge and thank Just Cuts Erina - The Corner for their generous support as well.

 

"It's hard to pinpoint exactly where to begin, who to thank first and exactly what to say. Words rarely fail an English teacher though, so I will have to give it a go.

Today was an overwhelming experience for me; I believe we experienced everything that is good about Henry Kendall High School in a concentrated form. The fact that so much of it was driven by our student body is a testament to the character of our school and the quality of work we do not only as their teachers, but as their mentors and friends. To see students such as Joel and James step up and lead the school in such a mature and accomplished manner filled me with pride.

For all the staff and students who donated their hair and time to the cause, thank you for your bravery and efforts. I promise you it will grow back!

Thank you all for sharing in what was a sincerely wonderful day. Cancer takes away so much, but today the school community has given me so much back."

Until next time

Dan Quilty
