Last Friday South Thornlie Primary students and staff dusted off their swash-buckling best and gathered treasure for a great cause.
Students, staff and teachers came to school in some amazing pirate costumes and were asked to bring a gold coin donation to raise funds for the Kids Cancer Project, Research for Brain Cancer.
Pirate Day is an annual dress up day during brain cancer awareness month each May.
In 2023 South Thornlie students raised $463.00 from their pirates and are excited to raise another outstanding amount in 2024 totalling $485.00.
“It was great to see so many pirates on board the SS South Thornlie including students and staff showing their support to donate to such a wonderful research program,” principal Megan Barnett said.
