Refugee Week

Celebrating Generosity: Refugee Week Food Donation

During Refugee Week 2025, our school community came together in a spirit of compassion and generosity by donating essential food items to support refugees. These thoughtful contributions were delivered to Embrace Sanctuary Australia, an organisation dedicated to providing safe spaces and vital support for refugees and asylum seekers in our community.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Vivienne (Kian and Thea’s mum), who not only connected our school with Embrace Sanctuary Australia but also generously collected and delivered all the donated food over the weekend. Embrace Sanctuary Australia has asked us to share their sincere gratitude for the incredible support. The donated items will be distributed directly to refugee families, many of whom have fled conflict in Syria and Afghanistan. They’ve also shared a message of appreciation with us.

If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, feel free to reach out to Vivienne. Through https://refugeesponsorship.org.au, which partners closely with Embrace Sanctuary, communities across Australia are working together to welcome and support refugee families. Vivienne would be more than happy to share information and ways you can be part of this important work.

We are grateful to all the families who donated and look forward to continuing our efforts in supporting refugees and migrants in meaningful ways.
