Junior School Council

Dear Parents & Guardians,

Our school prides itself on supporting the wider community. As we approach the festive season, we are reminded that while many of us are preparing to celebrate, others are facing hardship.

Once again, we are holding three initiatives to support families & pets in need - a food drive, new toy collection & Guess the Lollies in the Jar.

Foothills Community Care

Foothills Community Care is a not-for-profit organisation, providing support to those in need in the Knox, Dandenong Ranges and surrounding foothills areas. Their aim, with our help, is to create food hampers for families in need this Christmas. For more information, please visit https://www.foothillscare.org.au/

How You Can Help Foothills Community Care:

Home Hamper - Grab a box at home and decorate it in a Christmas theme. Then each day, instead of receiving a daily treat, add an item to the box instead. Home hampers can be delivered to Junior School Council representatives at the Homestead Drive gate on Monday 30th November between 8:45-9:10am.
Individual Donations - On any day throughout the calendar, students can bring items to school and place them in their classroom collection.

Closing date: Friday 27th November

Note: Food items must be non-perishable. We are unable to accept donations at the office due to lack of space.

Share Space

Share Space is a family-run food relief and community support charity located in Rowville. There are currently 150 children on their toy wish list, along with gifts needed for children who will spend Christmas in emergency relief. For more information, please visit https://sharespace.org.au/

How You Can Help Share Space:

Toy donations - Place a wrapped gift (between $10-$20) for a child up to 16 years under our Christmas tree in the office foyer. Please include a tag indicating the age range & preferred gender.

Toy donations will be accepted from Monday 9th November - Monday 7th December. Please join us at assembly on Monday 7th December when Junior School Council will present your generous donations to Share Space volunteers.
