Thank You
Thank you for your generous donations of warm clothes and hygiene essentials on Winter Woollies Day. I know our students enjoyed personally giving their donations to the Night Patrol van, making the day all more meaningful. These contributions are directly helping those in need in the Weston Creek and wider Canberra area. The spirit of compassion and kindness shown by our community is truly inspiring. Your generosity is making a real difference in the lives of many, providing warmth and essential items to those who need them most. Thank you for embodying the spirit of giving and caring for our community.
