Pizza parties were awarded to the tutor groups that raised the most within each House. Congratulations to Marragawen (Kuyal), Djirrang (Gura), Wulumay (Baado) and Gilbanung (Bamal).
Pizza coupons also went to each House’s top individual fundraiser and furthest-moving participant. Congratulations to Year 7 Ava Cn and Year 10 Otis S (Kuyal), Year 7 Zach A-D and Year 11 Toby G (Gura), Year 7 Ivy M and Year 7 Rena B (Baado), and Year 11 Elliot F and Year 7 Tally K (Bamal).

IGS will be visiting Chris O’Brien Lifehouse on 13 November, when our choir will sing for patients and staff, accompanied by the top student fundraisers from each House.
Thank you to everyone for going the distance for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, and for donating and encouraging a participant. Your generosity helped make the campaign a remarkable success!
