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.

A Wonderful Distraction
Today, my hospital school teachers at Bankstown Hospital School gave me gift. I received two Treehouse books that I can also share with my brother. I was also lucky enough to receive a Lego Ninjago. My eyes lit up as soon as I saw it! I built my Lego while sitting in my hospital bed, following the instruction booklet. I want to deconstruct it before I go home so I can rebuild it with my younger brother.

Keeping it clean
With the current spread of Covid and Influenza in our small community, this great hand sanitiser has assisted the community to slow the spread in infectious diseases. The staff at Coonamble Neighbourhood Centre have said that “the Community has greatly appreciated.
The free hand sanitiser, as the cost of living is having a very big impact on Community”

Little Bricks, Big Connections
When my son opened the LEGO set from HIPPY, his eyes lit up. We don’t often get brand-new toys, so this was really special. Building together gave us quiet time to talk, laugh, and learn side by side. It’s more than a toy – it’s a memory we’ll treasure.

Building Brighter Futures—One Brick at a Time
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Good360 and their partnership with LEGO, our small school has been able to launch a weekly Friday LEGO Club that has transformed lunchtimes into a hub of creativity, connection, and joy.
What began as a simple idea—to offer something engaging and hands-on for students—has grown into one of the most anticipated parts of the week. Students eagerly gather each Friday, brimming with excitement, ready to build, collaborate, and explore their imaginations through LEGO. From elaborate castles and imaginative vehicles to intricate mazes and story worlds, our students are not just playing—they’re learning, problem-solving, and growing.
The LEGO Club has had a profound ripple effect across our school. Students who were previously shy or reluctant to participate are now stepping forward, finding common ground with peers, and developing friendships that extend beyond the club. The safe, welcoming environment has improved social skills, increased confidence, and fostered a sense of belonging. Communication among students has flourished, with teamwork and turn-taking naturally embedded into every build session.
Most notably, this initiative has sparked a noticeable improvement in student engagement and wellbeing. We’ve seen a resurgence of enthusiasm in students who were previously disengaged or struggling with attendance. Now, they come to school with smiles, eager to earn their way into the club or draw prizes through positive behaviour. They are more motivated to follow instructions, demonstrate kindness, and contribute positively to our school environment.
This success has inspired us to dream bigger. We are now seeking further support from Good360 to help reinvigorate and grow our Positive Behaviour for Success Program—a vital initiative that rewards students for making good choices and demonstrating our core values. Traditionally, our weekly prize draws have been supported by our hardworking P&C, but as a small school with limited resources, sustaining this has become a challenge.
With ongoing support, we hope to expand our LEGO and social clubs, providing more structured opportunities for students to engage in positive, collaborative play. The simple gift of LEGO has already made a lasting impact—it has brought joy, inspired creativity, and helped us build a stronger, more connected school community.
At its heart, this is more than a story about toys. It’s a story about possibilities, partnerships, and the power of play to change lives. Thank you, Good360 and LEGO, for helping us build a school culture where every child feels excited to learn, valued, and ready to succeed.

“Fridays are the best now because we get to build cool things with our friends. I didn’t know I was good at LEGO until I tried—and now I want to be an engineer when I grow up!”
