Social Enterprise

Social Enterprise 2025

This year our Social Enterprise team have chosen their 4 charities they wish to support. These are States Schools Relief, Diamond Valley Foodshare, Big Group Hug and the Country Fire Association (CFA).

For Term 1 we are raising both awareness and money for States Schools Relief. State Schools Relief (SSR) is a not-for-profit organisation that improves the lives of tens of thousands of disadvantaged Victorian students, and their families, each year.  SSR provides government school students in need with new uniforms, footwear and a range of other essential educational resources.  We work side by side with all primary, secondary, specialist and language schools to ensure that any students facing hardship have the necessary items they require for school.

All requests for support received by State Schools’ Relief are treated sympathetically and in confidence.

Who is eligible?

State Schools’ Relief provides support to students attending a government school (primary, secondary or specialist), on the advice of the school.  Schools are able to submit an application directly, via our online portal, whenever they believe there is a need to support a student whose family/carers are facing difficulty in providing the appropriate uniform, footwear or educational items for attending school.
