World Kindness Day

Horsham College marked World Kindness Day last week by fundraising for the Christmas Hamper Project run by the Christian Emergency Food Centre (CEFC). 

Fifteen student volunteers helped raise $155 through the sale of chocolate chip cookies and chocolate crackles.  Students presented the cash to CEFC volunteer, Mr. John Spehrs, along with Christmas decorations produced by students at the lunchtime event.

Other activities enjoyed by the students included a colouring competition, card writing to elderly citizens and viewing recorded monologues around the theme of resilience, performed by drama students. Being kind to yourself by signing up for the college’s recently announced 2025 production of “13” was also an option.

Headspace helped students focus on gratitude while CEFC representatives informed attendees of their services available to the community. 

Chaplain, Yolande Grosser, organized the event around the theme “Bee Kind” using the emblem of a bee to encourage the school community to ’bee kind’ to each other, to themselves and to their community.
