Toy Fund Concert - Monday 16th December at 9.05am to 9.30am

Our final whole school assembly for 2024 will be a Toy Fund Concert and all families are welcome to join in fun.  

As we know, this time of the year can be particularly challenging time for many families who are struggling financially or otherwise, and as a result, unable to engage in seasonal festivities.  Although Christmas isn't always a happy time for some families, we can make a difference to the lives of children by donating a toy that may brighten their day.  

Late November, families may donate a new toy to the Salvation Army that is not wrapped, however it's nice for students to place a small gift card with their first name on the toy if they want to.  Teachers will give them some paper to do that.   Not wrapping the toy gives the Salvation Army a chance to offer toys to children that really appeal to them.  

Students will take their donated toy to class first before placing it under Mackellar's Christmas tree that will be close to the school's entrance.  Once again, Captain Chad Cole from the Salvation Army will attend our Toy Fund Concert and collect the toys so that children receive them before Christmas.

Further information will be provided very soon.
