As a worker in the homeless field with past life experience of being homeless as a teenager, I know how much it means to oneself to be able to clean your teeth when not privileged to showering facilities. It makes you feel at least half human.

Soccer stars at James Busby High School
It felt really good getting the shin pads because I know my family wouldn’t be able to afford them. Being part of the soccer team and actually having the right gear made me feel like I belong and that I can compete properly. It was our first time playing in a competition for the school, and I’m proud that we got that chance.
Creativity, Knowledge and Play
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of Good360 and their partner donors. The items have been used across our entire school community, with the books playing a special role in our Presentation Day awards.
Another much-loved resource has been the Endangered Wildlife Bingo. Students enthusiastically played the game, then chose an animal to research why it is endangered and explored ways they could help protect it. These resources have been both engaging and enriching and have made a lasting impact on our students.

Everyone Deserves Dignity
Margaret* stated “this is the first time our program has been able to give something to our listeners. We often attend community events and can only give out information. This time, we were able to give them something real and important, and start a whole new conversation. We focused on people with teenage daughters and were able to give out around 10 packs to vulnerable new arrivals in our community.”
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.
Beautiful Bags for our Support Packs
“The children love these beautiful bags filled with the clothing, toys, books, blankets and all the essentials – it really makes them feel as if they are receiving a gift from the community” – Caseworkers working with disadvantaged children tell us this all the time.
