Inspiring Wellbeing Beyond the Classroom
The mindful activities were really well received by our students and supported them in different ways either through regulation or through providing sensory input. They also prompted positive conversations with our students about mental health and wellbeing, which is so important. Our teachers also commented on how generous the team from JMC were and were really impressed with the positive impacts this had on our students. – Mark Oliphant College Wellbeing Leader
Helping Students Belong
*Mel, the school nurse who we work closely with, told us “Two of the kids you saw today managed to make it to school, despite being homeless and living in a shelter. Live is incredibly difficult for them. Having high quality shoes and warm tracksuits in our cold Tassie weather is a game-changer for them – we can’t thank you enough for making their lives a little easier”
Helping Alex!
Receiving these rugby boots has made a huge difference for Alex. As she is just starting her rugby journey, having the right footwear has helped her build confidence, improve her speed and skills, and fully participate in training and games. We are incredibly grateful for this support.” — Parent of Alex, age 12
Lego prizes at Swan View PS!
We use LEGO sets as prizes during our weekly assemblies, awarded to students who earn raffle tickets for demonstrating positive behaviour throughout the week. These prizes are highly valued, particularly as many of our students do not often have the opportunity to own LEGO themselves. As a result, they are strongly motivating and eagerly anticipated. This initiative plays an important role in encouraging positive behaviour and supporting students to engage more fully in their learning.
Caring for Teens
“Due to the young person currently having no access to technology or meaningful connection to the outside world there are increasing concerns regarding social isolation, emotional wellbeing, boredom, and lack of mental stimulation. To support the young person’s emotional regulation, engagement, and overall wellbeing, we are seeking activity-based resources that promote creativity, problem solving, mindfulness, and positive use of time”
This is part of a request received this week from a youth caseworker in our region.

Creating Connections Through LEGO
“Since receiving the LEGO sets, we’ve seen such a positive shift in our children. They’re more engaged, working together, and taking pride in what they create. It’s become more than just play—it’s a time where they feel confident, connected, and excited to learn each day.” Emma, Educator
Stories supporting home
Turning empty spaces into safe, welcoming places to live. From furniture to bedding, clothing to cups, we help transform houses into true homes.
Wrapping love around others
We are very thankful to receive these beautiful blankets, especially during the colder winter months. These blankets will be offered to women and families experiencing homelessness or financial hardship due to domestic violence and they will also be offered to families supporting children in care arrangements. Thank you for your ongoing support of our organisation and the work we do.” Worker from local support organisation.

Blankets for our lunch club patrons
Maria from ACON’s event team says: “Thank you to Good360 for your kind donation of blankets from Wrap With Love for our Lunch Club. Each Friday, dozens of older people arrive for free meals at the ACON Health kitchen, and it is great to offer them things that will help bring comfort and support to their lives.”

Bay City Care: Support Women from Surviving to Soaring
Comments we received included “Thank you so much for all these wonderful gifts” “I always need these items but can’t always buy them” “oh wow where did you get these from?” (reply: Good360 and their donors)
*various recipients commented similar.
Goods for a Variety of Aid
These items go a long way to helping people in need in a variety of situations. Large quantities of new items are hard to come by for a charity like ours that is 100% volunteer run & unfunded. The items tend to go out as fast as they come in as the need for aid is skyrocketing.
Self Care Packs
What an amazing and generous donation made by Good360. With the help of this donation, we were able to provide every student in our school with their very own ‘self-care’ pack. It made the children feel very special and especially allowed for some of our most vulnerable children to be able to take ownership of their own self-care at home. Without the help of Good360 and their generous donors, we would not be able to provide such a significant and impactful gift for our students.
Stories supporting play
Inspiring joy, creativity, and connection through the power of play.
Because everyone deserves moments of fun that spark imagination and belonging.

LEGO brings joy and resilience to children affected by terror
“The outcome of our children’s program, featuring LEGO prizes, was incredible! The children were so excited to get these special gifts, and receive the care that they need at such a sensitive time.”
