The students of Narrabri Public School will be able to access a new world of learning opportunities thanks to the Variety NSW Bash coming to town.
More than 100 Variety Bash cars visited the school on Tuesday May 22, bringing with them the chance to give kids in Narrabri a fair go.
“Narrabri Public is an inclusive school, catering for students with a variety of abilities and those from a variety of backgrounds,” Principal Marion Tame said.
“We can currently only provide access to technology for limited periods and urgently require reliable and updated computers.
“The Variety Bash has granted us a new bank of laptops, meaning more of our students can access technology in the classroom, developing their skills in preparation for employment and future career path.”
The donation is part of $50,000 worth of grants the Variety Bash will give to regional NSW schools during the event to help ensure kids, no matter where they live, don’t miss out.
