Solar My School Fundraising Event

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Congratulations to Mosman Public School’s P&C on their recent Solar my School film fundraising event. Mosman Public School is the first school in my electorate to pursue a solar project as part of the NSW Government’s Solar my School program, and I am proud to support their endeavours to go solar.

The night included a special screening of the film 2040 and a Q&A with the film’s director Damon Gameau and the Member for Warringah. Mosman Public School’s fundraising event is a step closer to 50kW solar power system they have planned. Thanks to the fundraising work of the parents and the students’ sustainability committee, the students of Mosman Public School have already started learning about solar power.

The school chose the film to help inspire kids and parents to be more environmentally conscious. Having sold over five hundred tickets to the film screening, Mosman Public School so far have raised over $18,400. Adding to this will be their bake sale fundraising at Artarmon Bunnings which I also attended. I would like to thank Jenni Hagland, Sarah Angus, Maggie Jackson and the many dedicated members of the Mosman Public School P&C for their organisation of these events.
