Banyule and the Salvos

Banyule and Climate Watch

Banyule Council has recently developed a webpage full of online resources which can help support those children that are learning from home. There will be a mix of live events, pre-recorded videos and downloadable resources available. There are a few things up there now, with more to be added next week, including a musical introduction to permaculture and a downloadable nature bingo game.

All the resources on this page are pitched to 5-10 year old kids.

The Salvation Army :

Digital Door Knock Red Shield Appeal

Each year the Salvation Army rely on the Red Shield Appeal to fund much of what they do.  Traditionally that has involved them collecting at shopping centres and one or two weekends on intersections.  Last year, this provided the Salvation Army with $16,000, which has been used to support vulnerable people in the community, and has funded the majority of their response at this time. 

Obviously they can’t collect  in the traditional ways this year.  This year, the Red Shield Appeal is entirely online, and are relying on community partners to help promote it.  Therefore Ivanhoe Primary School is sharing the link to the online portal for the Appeal in the school newsletter "Inside Ivanhoe".
