Thank you to Mrs Carr for organising our annual Australia's Biggest Morning Tea again this year. This is the eighth year that Tingalpa State School has participated in the event.  Every year staff get together to share morning tea and to raise money for a cause close to all our hearts.  In conjunction with the morning tea, Mrs Grimes has hosted the Clothes Swap again this year. The Cre8 Centre, during lunch breaks, this week has been transformed into a space where staff have donated clothes, swapped clothes or 'bought' clothes.  The funds raised will be donated to the Cancer Council. This year we raised $636.

Every day, we support people impacted by cancer when they need it most, speak out on behalf of the community on cancer issues, empower people to reduce their cancer risk, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer.

The Cancer Council is the largest non-government funder of cancer research in the country, and thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we have been able to invest almost $250 million in Australian cancer research in the past 5 years alone.

Investment in research has helped increase cancer survival rates from 49% in the 1980s to 71% today. Because of research, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. And every day, brilliant Australian researchers are working to unlock more of cancer’s secrets.
