Chaplaincy

 

Body Project - Eating Disorders Victoria.

Over four weeks during term four 13 year nine students had the opportunity to take part in The Body Project facilitated by Eating Disorders Victoria. The eight hour program offers a unique approach to discussing body satisfaction and the media influence on body image. We were fortunate to be able to offer this program free of charge.

Chaplaincy Second-Hand Book and Uniform Shop.

The shop is over flowing with clothing stock. We all love a bargain so drop into the shop Tuesday’s 12:20pm–1:10pm and you will find a huge supply of stock. Before you rush out and buy that new school dress or shorts for summer send your child to the shop and our parent volunteers will help them find any needed uniform from our large supply. Items can be put on hold for up to two weeks, payment can be made by cash or EFTPOS. It couldn’t be easier to sort out uniforms and textbooks for your child at up to half the price of purchasing items new.

Hawthorn Bunnings Cake stall.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Chaplaincy Cake Stall at Bunnings on Saturday September.14th. The stall was a great success and all funds raised support the employment of the School Chaplain Volunteering in the Second-Hand Book and Uniform Shop.  This year we are again farewelling a number of volunteers from the secondhand book and uniform shop. Like all schools our volunteers rotate on a regular basis as their children finish up and move into higher education, training or employment. This means we are always on the lookout for new parents to help keep this fantastic school resource running.  Regular updates are posted on the compass newsfeed about volunteering so,  if you are interested in finding out more about  how you can support the second-hand book and uniform shop, please email rosemary.carter@kew.vic.edu.au
