St Benedict’s students raise money for Inka Respite through sweet sale

Jaime ShurmerMelville Gazette

ST BENEDICT’S School students made and sold their own sweets to raise nearly $800 for Inka Respite, which suffered damage in the Lake Clifton fires.

Inka Respite is a farm stay for adults and children with special needs, and last year St Benedict’s students raised money for a vegetable patch at the facility.
