Owners Stephen and Elizabeth Ratcliff visited the school to present proceeds from the event — an incredible $2,054.
These funds have been earmarked for ongoing technology upgrades across the school.
It will allow the school to purchase three new laptops, providing valuable learning tools for their students and enhancing access to digital resources in the classroom.
Tocumwal Public School extends their thanks to the Ratcliff family, Bowden’s Construction, and everyone who contributed to the auction.
Your generosity directly supports improved learning opportunities for their students, and they truly appreciate your commitment to their school community.
