Year 11 VM PDS Excursion – FareShare Kitchen

At the very end of Term 3, both of the Year 11 VM PDS classes headed out to the FareShare kitchen in Abbotsford. FareShare rescues, donates, and cooks home-grown and surplus food into ready-to-eat, nutritious meals for charities.

Congratulations to both classes who showed teamwork, responsibility, and a positive attitude while preparing meals for people in need. Their effort helped produce nutritious meals for disadvantaged communities, demonstrating empathy and a commitment to making a difference. Just a summary of the difference they made in a very short space of time.
