General news

OUTSTANDING STUDENTS:

Dear Ms Burfield,

I hope this email finds you well.

I wanted to share some fantastic news with you about your below students’ recent efforts to help others in our community programs, between February – July 2023, which includes the April and July school holidays.

The outcomes of our community programs your student participated in!

·       Over 1400 young people participated!

·       Produced over 8500 hot meals, salads, fruit kebabs, breakfast boxes, snack packs and care packs with empathetic, positive messages, which were distributed to 15 charities around Sydney.

·       1800 servings of soup were served at a twice weekly soup kitchen.

Their exceptional leadership qualities, compassion, and strong sense of civic responsibility are truly inspiring and a testament to the values that your school instils in them.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for their contributions and suggest recognising them in a special assembly, ceremony, certificate, or newsletter. This is a wonderful way to show your appreciation for their efforts and motivate others to get involved in similar initiatives.

We would love to see more of your students involved in 'giving back,' If you could kindly let your school community know about the below opportunities.

Wild Walk Fundraiser – Sun 10th September

Register for our annual fundraiser “Wild Walk” https://wildwalk.com.au/ as a team or a school sponsor for your students to participate in an adventurous walk through the Royal National Park and support an incredible initiative supporting homeless and vulnerable communities.

We’d love you to encourage your students to participate and fundraise or even donate for this event! With walks varying from 5kms to 26kms we would like to acknowledge their hours, (if needed for Duke of Ed, Service Learning or IB), through their efforts in either fundraising or donating!
