This term, our Year 7 and 8 students have the opportunity to make a difference in the local community through Anglicare's Toys 'n' Tucker project. The focus for the term is Compassion, and we're encouraging students to bring non-perishable food and gift items to school, which will be collected in their Pastoral Care groups. On Wednesday we had a guest speaker from Anglicare come visit and talk to Year 7 and 8 about the project and encourage them to get involved.
This is a chance for students to share the joy of Christmas by helping those who are less fortunate. Donations will be used to create hampers, spreading joy to families in need during the festive season.
Here’s a list of suggested items:
Food: Christmas pudding, tinned ham or chunky soup, tinned salmon or tuna, tea, coffee, biscuits (no chocolate), dried pasta, pasta sauce, long-life milk, long-life custard, tinned fruit and vegetables, jam, rice, instant noodles, and baked beans.
Gifts for children: Age-appropriate games, educational toys, picture books, good-quality toys, outdoor games, and sporting equipment.
Gifts for teenagers: Gift cards/vouchers, toiletry packs, sporting equipment, board games, and books.
Please note, we cannot include chocolate due to the likelihood of it melting.
Donations can be dropped off in PC rooms or at H26, and they are due by Thursday, 14th November. Let’s come together and make a difference this season!
