Student recruits blood donors

When she looked at the Red Cross website to find out about donating blood, Iva Lepojevic (year 12) discovered that she couldn't drive for a couple of hours afterwards, so she became a youth ambassador and arranged for the blood service to visit the school!

She collected the 120 signatures of potential donors required (no mean feat bearing in mind donors need to be over 16), and on the day the Red Cross was able to take blood from 50 students. 

The bus will be returning in November to take blood from the many other students, staff and parents who were disappointed not to be able to contribute.

Staff from the Red Cross were glowing in their praise of all of our students, but in particular of Iva, stating that her organisational skills saw the smoothest of operations of any other school or business site that they have visited.
 
This is just another fine example of our students giving back to the community.
