Fundraiser puts teachers in the firing line for a big jump

05 Mar, 2010 12:00 AM
BARANDUDA Primary School is raising funds by having one of its teachers jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet.

Parents and students are bidding to have their favourite, or least favourite, staff member take part in the tandem sky dive above Baranduda on Friday, March 26.

Five teachers have put their hand up for the cause, including Merrilyn Krohn who yesterday admitted to being “scared to death”.

“I’m not going to wimp out of it, but I will scream the whole way down,” she said.

The jump is the brainchild of Sen-Constable Neil Hobbs, of Wodonga police, who has a close association with the school through the Adopt a Cop program.

Sen-Constable Hobbs, a skydiving instructor with 1850 jumps under his belt, hoped to raise $2000 for the school to help it buy a new PA system.

Other teachers to volunteer for the skydive are Brett Gilbee, Seane Pieper, Chantelle FitzSimons and Brendan Freeman.

The school is also selling raffle tickets with a prize of a tandem sky dive and a scenic flight over the Lake Hume.
