Community spirit is alive and well in Dunoon. The Dunoon Preschool had arranged a fundraising film night at Dunoon Hall for Friday the 2nd of November. The unexpected arrival of the tornado, a week earlier, brought together our film’s theme of The Power of Community with the power of the Dunoon community when faced with a natural disaster. The opportunity now presented itself to bring the theme of the film night into immediate reality. Ove Altman kindly showed his video of the tornado. He was right there as the scenario was being unfolded. The community supported the night, and the preschool, which had not been in the tornado’s path, donated the night’s takings to the school

On a sunny Tuesday morning, the preschool visited the school to donate the $300.00 fundraising cheque. Year 5 students escorted us around the school to see the progress they are making towards reclaiming their space. The schoolchildren answered our many questions and the preschoolers enjoyed time chatting and playing with them.

We hope our Dunoon children will all feel richer for being a part of community in action.
