Making a splash for Big Freeze

COBDEN Primary School went a little blue for a good cause last week.

Cobden Primary School teachers dressed up before taking a plunge into an icy pool as part as a Big Freeze fundraiser.

Students dressed in blue to help raise money for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) research.

The school also once again sold Big Freeze beanies at the school office, contributing to the school’s fundraising tally of $956 which goes towards the local South West Big Freeze event.

Teachers and staff also went the extra step and dressed in costumes and ran through a guard of students throwing water before launching themselves into an icy cold pool at the end.

With chilly weather last Tuesday there was more than a few chattering teeth at the end of the day.

The fundraising effort was a result of the work of the Grade 6 leadership group.
