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.

Peace of mind
After undergoing two knee replacements and recent gastric surgery, Barb has been navigating recovery with courage and determination. When she received adult overnight protection pads from Goods360, it brought her a quiet but powerful sense of reassurance. Knowing she has that extra support has eased her worries about getting up quickly at night while she heals.
This thoughtful gift has helped Barb rest more comfortably and focus on regaining her strength, giving her peace of mind and restoring a sense of dignity during a vulnerable time.
Teaching Financial Literacy
“The smiles and excited buzz in the Op Shop as students found the brand new Nike clothing was wonderful to experience!” Emily* (teacher and project coordinator)
“I love my new jacket…can you see the Nike tick?” Daniel* (student aged 15, living with an intellectual disability who wore his new jacket non-stop for over 3 weeks – to the point we needed to wash and dry it when he was at school as his family told us he was wearing it to bed!)

Hand creams for self care and sensory benefits
When the hand creams were received we facilitated some groups at Mackay Step Up Step Down Service about self-care and also building “toolkits” to help residents when they feel distressed. The residents are encouraged to fill the toolkit with items that uplift them and guide them through a difficult time or mood. The hand creams were very popular with both groups as the scents of the creams are beautiful and uplifting. It was lovely to see the smiles on the faces of residents who may not usually be able to afford luxurious hand creams like these.
Clients who have come to our Mackay Crisis Support Space – Safe Harbour, have also reportedly loved the hand creams as a little luxury to take with them after presenting to the service in a distressed state and will use the creams as a lovely self-care item or a sensory tool that invokes a sense of calm for the person. The scents of the cream are all beautiful and definitely have a calming effect and a positive message for maintaining self-care, even when you’re struggling.

Little Sprouts Playgroup
“Bringing my kids to playgroup has honestly been such a blessing. Seeing them laugh, explore, and use the beautiful toys donated by Hasbro means more than I can put into words. With how tough things are financially right now, we simply can’t afford toys like these at home. Watching them learn, imagine, and just be children in a space filled with kindness has been such a gift to our family.”
Christmas Joy
We want to say a big thank you to Good360 and all their suppliers. They have been very generous in supporting our school by helping us buy wonderful gifts for our students. Good360 works with many suppliers who provide gifts and resources at low or no cost to help schools and communities in need.
Their support is very important because it allows us to buy presents that our students will really enjoy and appreciate. Every year, we make sure that each child receives a gift that suits their interests or needs, and without this help, it would be much harder to do that.
Thanks to Good360 and their suppliers, our school can continue our Giving Day tradition, where every student feels special and valued. This generosity helps us spread happiness and shows the children that people care about them. We are very thankful for their kindness, which makes a big difference in the lives of our students.
Giving Day
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Good360 and HASBRO for their generous support, which has made it possible for Willmot Public School to purchase fantastic gifts for our students. Their contribution plays a vital role in bringing joy to our children and ensuring that each one receives a meaningful gift. We truly appreciate their partnership and commitment to supporting our school community.
Good360 helps disadvantaged youth
Receiving the Nike sweatpants and other new clothes made a bigger difference than people might realise. For many of our young people, having comfortable, good-quality clothing they feel proud to wear helps restore a sense of dignity and belonging. We’ve seen an immediate boost in confidence young people are more willing to attend appointments, engage in programs, and participate in social activities when they’re not worried about how they look. It’s not just clothing; it’s a reminder that their community cares about them and wants them to succeed.
Cry of Help
One lady who was fleeing a very bad domestic violence situation with her three children. This lady had no clothes/underwear for her children nor herself and we were able thanks to BIGW to clothe all four of them and with underwear. Also, they have no toys and no food. Thank you again as we had toys we could give them, and some beautiful Christmas items to bring cheer to their situation.
