Donations like this are greatly appreciated and go towards making the school a brighter and fun place for the students.
An example is the colourful mural that was recently completed in the infants quad.
"The presence of the Mount Panorama Lions Club on the day was a fantastic way to bring the school community together," Bathurst South Public School P&C president Laura Longmore said.
"And to be presented with a cheque from the proceeds from the day was an added bonus."
The Mount Panorama Lions Club president Sally Coops said this was the first time that the Lions Club had used the coffee van to support a community event in this way, and they were excited to be a part of the day.
