At the High Tea held at the State Library we auctioned six of the teapots, the Hon. John Ajaka, minister for Disability Services acquired one. This means that four were retained so that we could offer them for purchase to people who were unable to attend.

For some years the staff have supported the fundraiser to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Day. The morning tea was prepared by the Yr 11 Hospitality Class and the staff were invited by the young hosts Miss Sarah Clark (daughter of Mary Givney-Clark & David Clark) and Miss Ava Bulmer (daughter of Anthea & David Bulmer). The staff value the opportunity to foster greater community acceptance and understanding of people with Down Syndrome. They raised $620!
Yr 11 hospitality students showed their skills in style.

We called our group Danny’s girls in honour of our 8 year old friend Danny who has Down Syndrome. Danny is a well-known ‘celebrity’ in our town and his mum, family friends, teachers and others were keen to ‘frock up’ for the fundraiser to help a good cause.
This was our second high tea fundraiser for DS and we’ve also previously hosted a ‘Buddy Walk’.
Several people with Down syndrome will be performing at the Sydney Comedy Festival this weekend, with Beyond the Square's Just a bit ... funny project:
