Mary Dullard from Origin Energy assisted in the Solar Buddy Project. As a student herself from St Mary's and now a parent with her own child attending, she took the opportunity to work in partnership with St Mary's as part of a STEM project to assist other children and families that need support in PNG.
A school spokesperson told The Beagle "Origin are absolutely thrilled with how well the event went & the publicity it generated for the foundation. A huge thank you to our year 3 and 4 students and teachers Mrs Alicia Hampson, Miss Georgia McCormick and Mrs Stacey Kelly for the engagement in this project."
SolarBuddy is an Australian charity uniting a global community with a big dream to gift six million solar lights to children living in energy poverty by 2030, to help them to study after dusk and improve their education outcomes.
