All proceeds raised from the sale of each pancake will be donated to Tamworth's Heaven Can Wait Animal Shelter.

It was $1.50 for two pancakes, and 50 cents for each topping, and with enough mixture for roughly 700 pancakes, the shelter can expect a hefty donation from the hungry students.

The school's student representative council (SRC) came up with the idea at the beginning of the year.

Year 10 representative Brandon Bigone said it was an important fundraiser.

His topping of choice was whipped cream and sprinkles.

Fellow SRC member and year 9 student, Elle Woods, said her family bought a cat from the shelter, so it was an organisation close to her heart.

"It's a great charity and they're really caring of the animals," she said.
