Three Rodney school principals were locked up in Snells Beach last month, raising $1300 for the Blue Light youth charity.

Principals from in Tapora, Wellsford and Warkworth were jailed in temporary cells and passed the time with renditions of Please Release Me, We Just Got to Get Out of Here, Blue Light Shoes, and Another Brick in The Wall.

Blue Light Wellsford is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month.

Motivator and fitness advisor Billy Graham will speak at a celebration at Wellsford Community Centre, Wednesday June 17, 7.30pm to 9pm. Tickets $20, or $30 for two adults. Students $5.

The charity works in partnership with the Police and relies on fundraising and sponsorships. Its primary aim is to reduce the likelihood of young people becoming a victim or perpetrator of crime.
