“Biggest Morning Tea” was celebrated in a delicious way at the Kellyville Hills Adventist College campus on 22 May 2014 with a baked goods fundraiser.  All students and families were invited to participate through Home and School and direct email invitation. The message was well received; various baked goods were brought in to help with the fundraiser. Families brought in treats, students made some in class while competing for best decorated and Home and School contributed with baked goods and the organisation of many of the parental donations. This was the fourth year that the Kellyville campus has run a “Biggest Morning Tea” fundraiser. Bethany Choong, Year 12 student, commented, “I think that it’s really great that everyone in the school has brought things together, and we’ve been able to organise it so that the entire school is able to be part of our fundraising efforts, not just one or two people.” The large assortment of baked treats that were brought raised a total of nearly $900 this year. All monies raised will go directly to the Cancer Council.  This isn’t the only event or funds that these students have raised this year to go towards the Cancer cause.  Grace Hey, a science teacher at Hills, mentioned that, “Our last mufti day fundraiser was also for Cancer. One of our Year 7 students, Dominic Slattery, participated in Shave for a Cure and we helped him raise over $2000 with a mufti day and hair colouring event.”

Choong also recognised how events like “Biggest Morning Tea” have an importance not just in raising funds for an honourable cause but also an importance for individuals and their families. “I think that everyone is affected by cancer- we all know people who suffer from it. A lot of us have people in our families who do, and it’s great that we’re able to take just a little bit of time out of our day to participate in an event like this.”
