Supporting Cashmere High School Families Affected by Mosque Shootings
As you will probably be aware Cashmere High School was hit particularly hard by the cruel and tragic events of Friday, March 15th.
Two current pupils of the school lost their lives that day - Sayyad Milne (Year 10) and Hamza Alhaj Mustafa (Year 12). Hamza's father was also killed and his younger brother, Zaid (Year 9), is in hospital recovering from gunshot wounds. Two fathers of other students were also shot and are recovering in hospital.
Cashmere High School also lost a past pupil, Tariq Omar (class of 2012), in this horrific event. The father of past pupil, Imran Safi (class of 2018), was also killed.
The school has set up an account to which people can donate money that will be used to support the families in the school who have suffered loss. All financial donations can be paid to the following account: 12-3482-0034441-00
If you wish to contribute to this fund please include the following code/reference so the school knows it is a donation to this cause: CHSsupport
