Christmas is a time for giving, and one local school has gone the extra mile to ensure vulnerable community members don’t go without this festive season.
Hundreds of hampers will go to local families in need this Christmas thanks to generous donations from the Beaconhills College community to its ’Hope for Christmas Appeal’.
The College’s Berwick and Pakenham Campus families, including Friends of the Pakenham Campus Junior School and school staff all donated money and boxes full of grocery items and toys to this year’s appeal.
Students from the Beacon of Hope student committee including Sarah Davis, Dylan Crossley and Sarah Lockwood (pictured) have been busy sorting and packing the goods for distribution to charity organisations across the local region.
Hampers will include a Christmas card designed by individual students with their personal message to the recipient.
Beaconhills’ Head of Citizenship and Service Clare Tuohy said once again the school community had shown extraordinary generosity in helping make Christmas a little brighter for those experiencing hardship.
