CHRISTMAS HAMPERS

COULD YOUR FAMILY BENEFIT FROM SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER?

2020 has been a year like no other, and we are aware that many of our families may have 

been impacted financially due to COVID-19. This year we have been contacted by Compass 

Community Care, who are offering support to our community in the way of Christmas baskets, to bring some love and care this year. The baskets include Christmas treats/food/games and self-care items. 

If your family would benefit from receiving one of these, please email us at ripperfamilies@gmail.com and we will organise this for you. All requests will be managed with absolute confidentially.

MORE ABOUT COMPASS COMMUNITY CARE

Compass Community Care is a non-profit organisation based in Glen Eira dedicated to providing relief to people that are in need. Since 2007 they have provided support, counselling, aid, donations and social justice to those who need it most. 

This Christmas they will distribute 2000 baskets to families who need it. 

For those that are in a position to support this organisation, you can also head to the following website and make a donation: https://www.compasscommunitycare.org.au/christmas-appeal 

2nd HAND UNIFORMS

Whilst the uniform shop remains closed for now, we are giving families the opportunity to donate 2nd hand uniforms.

Below is a list of dates/times where the administration officer Meagan will be outside the main office to collect 2nd hand uniforms from families. We do ask if you can please wash the items prior to dropping them in. 

Monday November 23rd - 9:30am to 10:00am

Wednesday November 25th - 2:45pm to 3:15pm

Families will then have an opportunity to purchase 2nd hand uniforms from the school's first outdoor uniform shop sale in December. Please stay tuned for more information.
