1. Ensure your child is allocated to their correct class not Test class or None. 

2. Ensure you receive an email confirmation after you have placed your order.  If a confirmation is not received, there has been an error when placing the order.

Geelong Giving Tree Appeal 

Share the joy of giving with the Geelong Giving Tree Appeal

At this time of year, the excitement is building for many families as they prepare to gather to celebrate Christmas. But for some, just putting food on the table can be a struggle, let alone buying gifts for the ones they love.

The Geelong Giving Tree Appeal is a fundraiser presented by Bethany Community Support, in collaboration with Barwon Child, Youth & Family and the Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre, which aims to provide support to vulnerable families from the broader Geelong region in the lead up to Christmas.

By supporting the Geelong Giving Tree Appeal, your donations will be converted into gift cards so that vulnerable families can purchase the food and/or gifts that are much needed or wanted by their family, but they otherwise could not afford. 

To share in the joy of giving this Christmas, visit www.geelonggivingtree.com.au.

What is the Geelong Giving Tree Appeal?

• At this time of year, the excitement is building for many families as they prepare to gather and celebrate Christmas. But for some, just putting food on the table can be a struggle, let alone buying gifts for the ones they love.
• The Geelong Giving Tree Appeal is a fundraiser presented by Bethany Community Support, in collaboration with Barwon Child, Youth & Family and the Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre, which aims to provide support to vulnerable families from the broader Geelong region.

Why we need your help…

• It goes without saying that 2022 has been another challenging year for many – with the prolonged impacts of the pandemic, the rising cost of living, and the continuous interest rate rises – times have been very tough for many families within our community.
• With more than 24,000 people seeking support each year, the team at Bethany are hearing from new families who have never had to seek support before, alongside those whose normal struggles have been exacerbated by the current climate.

How you can help!

• The Geelong Giving Tree Appeal aims to support the most vulnerable families within our community. 
• Your donations will be converted into gift cards, so that these families can purchase the food and/or gifts that are much needed or wanted by their family, but they otherwise could not afford.
