💙 Thank you for your donations to the Hygiene Drive!💙

A huge shoutout to all students, staff and parents who pitched in to make FHS Interact's Hygiene Drive a massive success! 🧼🦷

Together we raised over $2000 dollars worth of hygiene products to donate to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), including:

• 48 Pads
• 80 Hygiene Kits
• 39 Toothbrushes
• 55 Toothpastes
• 98 Deodorants
• 7 Soaps

The ASRC is volunteer-led and relies entirely on donations to provide support to refugees and those seeking asylum in Australia. So, every donation counts, and many individuals aided by the ASRC will benefit directly from your generosity!

We thank you all again for your amazing support 💙

🏃‍♂️ Run for the Sun ☀️The Interactors have been hard at work alongside other leadership groups at FHS to launch the Solar School Initiative—a project aimed at installing solar panels on the roof of our Performing Arts Theatre. As part of this mission, we’ll be helping run SSI’s “Run for the Sun” event taking place Mon 2 June – Fri 6 June during World Environment Week!

What is Run for the Sun? More details through the QR code on the poster below or read on after the poster!

How do students get involved? Students are invited to take part in the week of activity for House Points and can even create a fundraising page through which their friends and family can sponsor their efforts via a tax-deductible donation!

Every dollar donated translates to $6 coming back into our school community via saved electricity costs, so all donations to this great cause are welcome!
