October Chaplaincy Book Fair

Horsham College’s elected student leaders for 2027 took on their first challenge last week when they volunteered to serve customers at the October Chaplaincy Book Fair.  Counting books, making change, carrying bags to cars, getting involved in general chit chat with the public and tallying up the cash tin were only some of the ways these leaders helped the Chaplaincy Committee raise the grand total of $5,858.50!  With all funds going towards the role of chaplain at the school, the Chaplaincy Committee are pleased to continue supporting the running of Brekky Hub, lunchtime groups and whole school events. 

Set-up and pack-up of the enormous pre-loved book sale in Maroske Hall was also ably supported by volunteer student classes who managed bag trolleys, did lots of lifting, stacking and unpacking.  Magazine and DVD displays created by students increased the visibility of items for sale and aided accessibility for shoppers.  On Monday the student volunteers helped set-up for VCE exams, with tasks like washing tables and quality testing chairs ensuring our Year 12s walked into a clean and comfortable space for their English exam on Tuesday. 

The Horsham College Chaplaincy Committee meet in the Administration Building on the first Thursday of every month and welcome new members.
