LENDING A HELPING HAND & MAKING AN IMPACT || We are proud of our Year 10 & 11 students who volunteered at the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle this term! Teaming up with the Kiwanis Club of Moorabbin Inc., they have made a meaningful contribution to our community, and we were delighted to receive the following feedback:
‘The students were an absolute delight and very keen to learn new skills like customer service, dealing with the public and working as part of a team. They were quick to learn and keen to do well, especially with the electronic payment system Square. We would really struggle for volunteers were it not for your students. They are that important to us and we hope our event is important to your students and BSC also’.
