LYNDHURST Secondary College students were given a break from the books and got party on their lunchbreak recently, all for a good cause. The school’s Year 12 VCAL class organised a whole-school event on Friday 29 August to raise awareness and money for The Reach Foundation. From left, teacher Kym Lenc and students Courtney, Adnan and Sijad enjoyed the lunchtime disco as part of the festivities.
