IN breaking news the Noosaville State Primary School deputy principal has been sentenced to a week in prison … but it’s all for a good cause.
Noosaville State Primary School chaplain Michelle Gameiro has placed a “citizen’s arrest” on deputy principal Wayne Carty and is calling on students and the community to help raise his “bail”.
“We’re hoping to raise his $30,000 ‘bail’ which will go towards expanding the services of chaplains at the school,” Ms Gameiro said.
“We’ve called the fund-raising campaign, ‘I’m a Deputy … Get me out of Here’ which is part of the overarching Keep Our Chappy campaign.”
Mr Carty will be “arrested” at morning assembly on Friday 18 March by the school’s Adopt a Cop and will stay in a purpose-built “cell” on school grounds until his “bail” is raised, which Mr Carty hopes is sooner, rather than later.
Local businesses have come on board to support the fund-raising campaign with Bunnings providing activities for the students and the Lions Group who will attend the school on Thursday 24 March to hopefully celebrate Mr Carty’s release with a pancake breakfast.
Mr Carty will work from his “cell” throughout the day and naughty kids have been warned to behave or they might be thrown in the slammer to do some “hard time”.
If you would like to be involved or would like more information on the fund-raising event, please phone Noosaville State Primary School on 5440 3222.
