The only thing holding him back from running the school cross-country was not having sneakers.
Thanks to the Nike shoes, Mark was able to lace up & participate in cross-country.

Building community through play
“It’s a great blessing that our church has been able to provide amazing support, resources and toys to our children. High cost of living has made life difficult and being able to provide for our children has become harder. These donations make all the difference in the world. Thank you.”
Literacy challenge
This was one initiative. We ran a literacy challenge during a community event and also during lunch time in the library. Students were so excited and were keen participants. This challenge promoted literacy conversations and grammar debates between friends. The students love our library challenges and Lailah was a deserving winner. All participants also received a small Lego set for their contribution.
Sporting Equipment (Cones)
Hey, just wanted to say a big thank you for the cones! We used them heaps during our Capture the Flag games and for our SVT events out on the oval. They were honestly super helpful – we had enough to properly set up the field and separate all the teams, which made everything way more organised and fun. Everyone got really into it, and it just made the games run way smoother. – SVT members
Bringing Comfort and Dignity: Practical Support for Families in Crisis
“These hampers gave me more than just essentials—they gave me a sense of relief. After leaving a difficult situation, I had nothing. Receiving these items made me feel like someone out there cares, and that I’m not alone in rebuilding my life.” — Sara*, community recipient.
Great Cricket Balls!
A huge thank you for the amazing cricket balls! Our students had the opportunity to use them while preparing for their upcoming cricket tournament, and they couldn’t have been happier with the quality. The equipment made a real difference in their training, allowing them to refine their skills and build confidence ahead of the competition. We truly appreciate the support—it has had a positive impact on both their preparation and enthusiasm for the game!
So much fun!
Our school was so fortunate to receive PlayDoh sets and Peppa Pig alphabet cases from Hasbro and Chux Multipurpose Super Cloths from Chlorox. Our Prep students love using the PlayDoh and alphabet cases during their learning! While unpacking the new goods comments heard included “These are soooo cool”, “Can we play now?” and “I love these!”. Our students thought they were so lucky to receive these brand new goods.
Lots and lots of whiteboard writing!
“We never have this many whiteboard markers!”, “It must be Christmas”, “I will be able to write lots and lots and lots!” were some of the comments made by students when they discovered our large shipment of whiteboard markers! Our older student have whiteboard topped desks and use these to work out math, test spelling words and jot down notes so lots and lots of whiteboard markers are required. Our younger students also use individual whiteboards.
Perfect resources for our students!
“”it’s amazing to have new fine liners to use to complete our work!”, “How awesome are these!”, and “These pens are the best ever!” are some of the many comments we have received from students when the fine liners have been distributed. It has been so nice for our kids to have an alternative to the usual blue pens and grey lead pencils. Students have been encouraged to produce their best work while using their new stationary.
What a record haul!
“Check this out!” and “oh wow!” have been common things heard when students have been reading our brand new set of Guinness Book of Records. Our students have been totally absorbed recording all the amazing facts and records contained in this wonderful book. We never have the funds to purchase class sets of books so the opportunity to obtain so many enable our students to read the same text together at the same time. We want to give our students physical books rather than screens to instil the love of reading which will last a lifetime.
