So proud of both Isaac & Lachie!

Big shout out to the boys for the amazing continued work that they do at ECES. They take pride in keeping our grounds looking fabulous and we are very grateful.
🙌😊🤗

With the proceeds from raffles collected from the Rainbow Beach Hotel this afternoon, we are very proud to let you know that Lachlan and Isaac have reached their target.

With the incredible support from our community they have done it!

Thank you to every single one of you. We cannot express our appreciation enough.

This trip will not only treat them to one of the best adventures of their lifetime, they have had to work hard to raise the funds and that brings character and maturity that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.

Thank you again. These words just don't seem enough!
