Operation Christmas Child

Our school is taking part in sending boxes to needy children.  These children will probably never again receive a gift such as this or a Christmas gift, in their lifetime.

We are encouraging our students to get involved, to look beyond themselves, to foster attitudes of compassion and giving.  Students are encouraged to earn extra pocket money by doing odd jobs etc.  It doesn't take much - but it goes a long way and speaks volumes to children in need.

Thank you to all those students and families who have already given.  Your generosity is much appreciated.
Final collection date is 17 October, first week back next term.
