VCAL Projects

Hygiene Bags for Charity

Ms Keen’s Year 11 VCAL Class are creating Hygiene Bags for a charity named 300 Blankets, who supply blankets and hygiene packs for the homeless in Melbourne.

We invite our school community to be involved, as homelessness impacts so many.  We would appreciate donations of hygiene products for this project. For example shampoo & conditioner, razors for both men & women, body wash, tampons/pads, soap, roll-on deodorant (in case the recipient has asthma), shaving cream, toothpaste/tooth brushes, band aids, hand sanitizer, comb and condoms.  Please note all donations should be travel size, not full size, as they are easier to carry around. If you would like to learn more about this charity and the impact that these bags have, visit their website at  https://www.300blankets.org.au/

'Last Hurrah' Cookbook

We are putting together a Shepparton High School 'Last Hurrah' cookbook. This is a VCAL project and we would love to include parent, student and staff recipes.

If you have a family recipe you would like to contribute please include the method, how long it takes to prepare/cook, the ingredients and a photo if possible. Please email your recipes to cartwright.sara.l@edumail.vic.gov.au or hand in a hard copy for Ms Cartwright at the general office.

Thank you,  Rori & Bianca (Year 11)
