Kids raise funds for Campbell
Pupils at Midhirst Primary School left their uniforms at home on Friday, wearing mufti for the day to raise money for their sick friend, Campbell Robertson.
As well as wearing mufti, the youngsters enjoyed a sausage sizzle during the day, and raised $1006.80 for the Robertson family. Campbell's classmates also made cards for him, which will be sent to him in Auckland where he is in Starship Hospital undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma.
The school has a donation box at the school office for anyone wishing to donate to help Campbell and his family.
Principal Stuart Biessel says he is thrilled with the efforts put in by the school community, and is pleased they have been able to offer some practical help to Campbell's family.
