CLC - Volunteers Make Big Impact Again in Week 2 of Community Project
Very proud of our Year 9 C.L.C (Community Leadership Challenge) cohort who yesterday finished their 2nd week of their 6-week Volunteering Project giving back to the community.
Plenty of glowing reports have been coming in from the many people positively impacted by them around town, and our end-of-day Celebration Circle was again very powerful.
One highlight was footage of Rosie Bulmer and Skye Macdonald-Jones bravely performing andsinging to the elderly residents of Iloura Aged Care Home. Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" went down a treat, especially apparently with one of the male residents "Keith", who by the way joined in on the Nail Painting session and came out with black nails and loved it.
Wangaratta West Primary School leadership were blown away by the transformation to their grounds made by the "Grounds Crew" (Axel Kiely, Charlie Leslie, Tane Massey-Chase, Yarran Stanley, Cas Turk and Archer Wilson). The boys made a very visible improvement especially to a long-overgrown garden bed next to one the school's 3 brand new Gaga Pits.
The Anglicare Loaves & Fishes group (Kiera Cox, Jasmine Fordham, Claire Shilcock and Cheyenne Stow) again drew high praise for their work packing food for the Homeless and Vulnerable.
WDSS (Specialist School) staff again were thrilled with the work of Bode Crawford, Harrison Kelly, Riley White and Ryan Winter.
Cooper Lack was named a standout in the Wangaratta West PS "P.E Helpers", with "Kayden Vozlic" apparently the "King of the Kids" who the youngsters swarmed on.
Our 3 groups of "Classroom Helpers" at Wangaratta West P.S, Wangaratta P.S and Appin Park P.S were again said to be terrific.
