St Catherine’s Year 8 students, Ellie Williams and Coco Johnson donated over $4,000 to the Royal Children’s Hospital during Channel 7’s live coverage of the Good Friday Appeal this April.

Both Ellie and Coco decided to participate in the Run for Kids charity fun run in March 2024. From this, they set up a fundraising page and our St Catherine’s and the wider community responded generously, with the girls raising more than $4,000.

Contributing to the Good Friday Appeal was close to Ellie’s heart, after spending time in the Royal Children’s Hospital herself after suffering from a spinal cord stroke in 2022. “The team at the Royal Children’s Hospital helped me slowly regain my strength and here I am now!” shared Ellie during the Good Friday Appeal telecast.

Congratulations to both girls for their leadership, organisation, and community service.
