If Connector Pens are to primary school what cigarettes are to prison (cylindrical forms of currency), then an industrious Australian primary school is now the Fort Knox of stationery.
An Australian primary school has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous line of Connector Pens, smashing the previous record held by John Carroll University in America.
Carine Primary School in Western Australia connected 7,210 Faber-Castell Connector Pens to form an unbroken rainbow of nostalgia stretching 65m across their school oval. The world record took over two hours to complete and quadrupled the existing record of 1,520 pens.
And it was all in the name of charity. The event raised funds for the primary school’s graduating class and the surplus pens will now be donated to Bikabele Cares for Kids, a Balinese charity for disadvantaged orphans.
Good work, kids. You’ve all earned an early mark.
