You are Amazing! Community Freezer

During Term 3 our community freezer has been blessed with meals made by a group of our Year 9 Students under the watch of Secondary Teacher Tim Wright. They put together some beef enchiladas and Bolognaise sauce for families in our community who would benefit from some MECS love. If you or someone that you know within our community are going through a tough time please contact Jenny Taylor at jtaylor@mecs.vic.edu.au.
