In keeping with tradition here at Thomas Hassall Anglican College, Term 4 is dedicated to teaching students in Years 7-9 about the importance of service. Year 9 will be leading secondary students on one of the most exciting days of our College Calendar. Friday 1 December 2017, secondary students will celebrate the finals of X-Thactor and partake in the fun of Market Day.
Market Day is designed to fit in with the College’s fundraising and charity programs, prior to the Christmas holidays. The focus of our social service activities requires students to recognise that it is their small individual efforts that collectively make a large difference in our local community via the Sadleir Anglican Hamper drive, as well as our Market Day Stalls – a day which is designed to raise money for Anglicanaid, in order to make a difference in the broader community.
Students are asked to give of their time and their energy to assist in raising funds for this worthy charity in a fun and festive way. In order to achieve these outcomes, each PC is asked to contribute to the expenses associated with the establishment of a Market Day Stall. There are lots of exciting food, drink and games stalls being planned for the day.
We would love for you to support the College in this event by assisting your child with a small contribution towards the establishment of the stall which is roughly between $5 and $10.
We are also putting together Christmas hampers that are to be distributed by St Marks Anglican Church, in Sadleir, to families in the local area, who are in need this Christmas. Perhaps ideal outworking of this project would be an item on your normal grocery list. The items donated must be non-perishable. The students are aware of this initiative and the final day to bring in these items is Friday 1 December 2017.
