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.

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.
Optus SIM Cards Added in Essentials Package Project
“Having the SIM card made a world of difference for me. I had been feeling disconnected from everything and everyone, and I didn’t know how I was going to keep up with job opportunities or stay in touch with my family. Being able to talk to my kids again was the most important thing. It made me feel like I was still part of the world, not just an outsider.”

“It’s hard to explain how something as simple as a phone with credit can make such an impact. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had control over my life again. I was able to make appointments, apply for jobs, and reach out for help when I needed it. It gave me a sense of independence I hadn’t felt in years.”
