The mismatch mufti day was a success!

Local students at ACG Strathallan College made a real spectacle of themselves to help to save the sight of thousands of needlessly blind people in the Pacific. The students held a mismatch mufti day where they dressed as though they could not see the clothes they were putting on as part of their Make a spectacle of yourself fundraiser. The school raised almost $600 for The Fred Hollows Foundation. Students wore anything from mis-matching shoes to clashing patterns and outrageous hair styles. They also competed against each other by doing an obstacle course wearing Fred Hollows cataract masks. Head student Lydia Scott said that it was their best ever mufti day,  

‘Strathallan has held many mufti days supporting various charities in the past, however today was most definitely the one which stimulated the most awareness of the chosen charity to students' .
