Giving Tree Wrap Up

Thank you once again to our wonderful College community for the generosity on display at the Giving Tree Assembly. Besides the array of toys that featured in last week’s newsletter, we also had approximately $3200 in cash and $2500 in gift cards donated. This generosity will greatly benefit our local community. St Vincent de Paul are best placed to ensure our donations get to those with genuine needs this Christmas. Over the last few days, some of our Year 9 students have had an opportunity to assist Vinnies staff with sorting all the donated toys into categories. Following this, they had the opportunity to select toys to be packaged for individual children who will receive them as gifts this Christmas. This has been beneficial for the Shalom students who demonstrated empathy and care in how they selected the gifts for vulnerable young people in our local community.
