Noosa District State High School raised $347 in the annual Jeans for Genes Day event last Friday.
Students and staff made a gold coin donation and wore jeans to school to raise funds for research into and treatment for children’s genetic diseases.
The initiative was driven by the NDSHS Student Council.
Student Council Secretary/Treasurer Lauren Hall said that the Student Council were very proud of the students’ participation in the day.
“Everyone enjoyed wearing their jeans to school, especially for such an important cause,” Lauren said.
All funds raised go to the Children’s Medical Research Institute, which is a globally recognised organisation.
