Students Lead the Way in Supporting the Rotary Shoebox Appeal

We are proud to share the success of this year’s Rotary Shoebox Appeal, led by our Year 12 students in collaboration with Year 9–11 form groups. The initiative brought students together to collect donations for disadvantaged individuals and families across Eastern Europe, demonstrating generosity, teamwork and strong community spirit.

Thanks to the commitment and enthusiasm of everyone involved, the shoeboxes were collected this week, with at least 140 boxes carefully prepared and donated. Each box contains essential items and thoughtful gifts, offering comfort and support to those who need it most.

We would like to thank all students who took part, as well as the parents and carers who generously contributed donations. We are extremely proud of all those involved in making such a positive difference.
