Kempsey South Public School celebrating $200,000 windfall from anonymous donor Happy students (back L-R) Callun Rosser, Brett Kennedy, Drew Wardrope and Lachlan Berry.

Kempsey South Public School recently received $200,000 from an anonymous donor in the community. When principal Andrew Kuchling was contacted by a local accountant about the donation, he could not believe it was happening. "It was fantastic news because of the possibilities and the fact we were able to use it as we saw fit," Mr Kuchling said. He said the money would be spent on a new kitchen and outdoor learning area, among other things. At the moment the 128 students grow their own produce and cook it with the few facilities they have. They eat it themselves and sell some in the canteen to raise funds. The students have already raised enough to cut the cost of school camps from $330 to $180. Mr Kuchling said cooking their own food not only helped the students raise funds but also improved their performance in the classroom. "The kids have been working hard and it's showing in their results," he said. Originally published as Anonymous $200,000 donation is all class
