This year, we once again proudly partnered with St Vincent de Paul to create Christmas Hampers for families in our local community. This annual tradition is an important reminder of the power of generosity, compassion and collective effort.
Each year, Frank Stuart from Vinnies visits our school to share the real impact that our support has on those in need. His stories remind us that every donation — no matter the size — makes a meaningful difference in the lives of families experiencing hardship. We are humbled to collaborate with Vinnies and look forward to continuing this strong partnership well into the future.
Thanks to the kindness of our students, families and staff, we were able to support 36 families, including 112 children and 50 adults. Their generosity helped bring comfort, joy and hope to those who need it most during the Christmas season.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful sponsors for their continued generosity and community spirit: Creative Play Art Centre Ballarat, Showbiz Cinemas Ballarat, Ballarat Gymsports, The Pancake Kitchen Ballarat, Mars and the Ballarat Aquatic & Lifestyle Centre. Their support played a vital role in making this year’s appeal a success.
