The Year 11 Children, Family and Community class recently completed a task where they had to identify people of need within our community and create a care package for them. They decided to focus on homeless people. Their packages included items such as homemade beanies, scarfs, blankets, jumpers and donated sanitary and hygiene items. We recently invited Liam from the Salvation Army, to our class to present him with the care packages. Liam spoke to the students about how quickly someone’s financial situation can change. He was blown away with students’ thoughtfulness and generosity. Liam shared how the packages would benefit people sleeping rough and were taken to the homeless crisis centre in Northbridge, The Beacon. The Salvation Army were very thankful for the students’ efforts and kindness in helping others.
