The siblings will join 13 other Duncraig Senior High School students and two teachers from the school visiting Fiji for three weeks, undertaking a volunteer project that will significantly benefit a local community.

Over the past 14 months, Jordan (Year 11) and Courtney (Year 10) have been working part-time to help cover the cost of the trip. They also participated in The Amazing Race held in Kings Park and Perth CBD, where they came second and won $200, held a sausage sizzle raising $375 and sold chocolates. Though they have also had some local businesses make donations, they are still a long way off their target of $6000 each. Their next fundraising project is a music quiz to be held on August 16 at 7pm in the Premier Suite at Arena Joondalup. Tickets are $10 with door prizes, raffles and auctions.
