Cans for a Cause - Balmoral Food Drive 2026 

Balmoral SHS’s annual food drive supports the tremendous work of Fare Share in Morningside who produces meals to help people who don’t have a steady source of food. This year, the food drive will be held Week 6 Tuesday, 18 August.

Last year, our school produced a mighty effort collecting 530 kilograms of food from the list – of approved items. With half price specials running in local supermarkets teachers have already begun preparing!

Below is the list of food types to purchase for Fare Share… and students get to come to school in free dress - all for the price of a can.

Canned – tomatoes, chickpeas, cannellini and borlotti beans, tomato paste

Jars - mustard

Packages - Rice

Year 12 First Aid

On Tuesday 28 July, our Year 12 students will be completing the practical elements of the First Aid course with external provider CSTC in the Sports Hall.  Supervision will be provided for the small number of students not completing this course; this will take place in the library.  Students completing independent study in the library will be signed in for roll marking purposes.  

Year 11 Camp

Communications were sent by Mr Jesberg (Head of Student Engagement) this week regarding Year 11 Camp.  Students and teachers are very much looking forward to this exciting event in the senior schooling calendar.  Please read these details carefully and contact Mr Jesberg with any questions.  Students have been asked to email these directly so that all questions can be answered in an FAQ session at the assembly on Thursday 30 July.  

Students who are not attending camp are given the opportunity to attend school to complete independent study.  These students are asked to gather at the terraces outside the Sports Hall on Tuesday 4 August to receive information about the class and teacher schedule for the 4 days.  These students are encouraged to engage in Work Experiences opportunities during these 4 days; support to connect with these opportunities can be obtained through Ms Sof in the library.
