During the past few years, 17-year-old Kim Ferguson and a group of other students have raised $30,000 for charities including World Vision, the Salvation Army, Anglicare and Operation Christmas Child.
Kim’s hard work in organising her school to take part in World Vision's 40 Hour Famine has led to the college receiving an award for raising more money than any other Government school each year for the past four years.
Kim has also raised money for a Cambodian orphanage with no electricity, food or clothes, which she heard about after her brother and sister visited the country.
"We sent that over and the money was spent on clothes, shoes, books and a new school building,'' she said.
"`We will be visiting various World Vision projects,'' Kim said.``I'm so excited and I'm a little bit anxious to see the sort of things we will face."
