We have been making Christmas cards to share with residents of the Regis Blackburn Aged Care facility, to bring some extra positivity at this time of year!
Animals:
Our Guided Inquiry Project is focused on helping and giving back to our community. The Animal group asks you if you’re able to donate any old towels or blankets. All donations are given to the Forest Hill Veterinary Hospital to help keep their patients warm. We also accept newspapers for them to use to absorb liquid.
