Teacher gets a cash splash

26/03/2015

TEACHER James Burnside took a well-deserved dunking at Pakenham Consolidated School’s academic festival last week.
Students, who each tried their hand at dunking Mr Burnside, broke into laughter when he was eventually dunked with a big splash.
The Thursday fete was held to celebrate ‘Pakenopoly’ – a current school topic which is designed to strengthen students’ financial literacy skills for the future. 135937 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
