STUDENTS INVOLVED IN VOLUNTEER WORK

I would like to acknowledge the volunteer work undertaken by students in our school community during the recent July school holidays and weekends through participation in volunteering School Holiday Programs, with Kids Giving Back. These students gave up their leisure time to undertake a range of activities to assist support vulnerable people including the homeless and those that are socially isolated - Benjamin Loy and Jonathan Loy. Kids Giving Back is a charity whose mission is to create the next Generation of Generosity.
