Students help with celebrations

Students from Ettalong Public school were invited to perform at the 25th birthday celebration of Camp Breakaway on Thursday, September 27.

Camp breakaway, situated at San Remo, is a retreat for adults with disabilities and is attended by people from all over Australia.

"Ettalong students entertained the crowds with a variety of acts including dance groups, choirs, instrumentalists and soloists," Ettalong Public School P&C publicity officer Ms Michelle Pathirana said.

"They received fantastic reviews from all involved and certainly helped to make the silver anniversary a very happy one.

"It was also a great experience for the students as they got to see that people with disabilities love to party and celebrate as much as anyone.

"Experiences such as this can only work to promote tolerance and understanding, which is a valuable part of education."
