Tour of duty

THIRTY of the current 3rd and 4th year pupils of Perth Academy are fundraising for their 2010 rugby tour.

The destination has not been finalised as yet but the ambitious team have set their sights on Australia, Canada or New Zealand

The pupils involved have to pay their own fares. The fund-raising efforts will help pay for rugby kit, equipment and buses to transport them between venues.

One of the major fundraisers will be a golf day at Craigie Hill, Perth, on Friday, September 12. There will be a shotgun start at 1pm.
