There was plenty of tin-rattling at Tullamarine Primary School recently as pupils showed their support for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday appeal.

The junior school council organised a casual dress day for March 22 and sent home special envelopes to encourage families to donate to the appeal.

Principal Anna Ruhle said the school had been affiliated with the appeal for 10 years.

This year’s fundraising total was the biggest yet, with more than $850 donated.

“The students were very proud. They got to count the money and wrote receipts that they got from the Good Friday appeal for the families,” she said. “It is a wonderful appeal for children to support.”

This year’s appeal will be held on April 14.
