BANKSIA Grove shoppers are being urged to ‘pay it forward’ thanks to St Stephen’s School.

The school has recently partnered with UnitingCare West and Banksia Grove Village to install a donation box outside Coles.

Branded with the ‘pay it forward’ slogan, the box encourages the wider community to get involved in giving back by donating items such as non-perishable food.

As part of the school’s service learning, which sees staff and students out in the community each week helping those less fortunate, the donations will be collected and given to UnitingCare West to deliver to its clients.

STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE

Young chef Naomi Velterop (Carramar Year 12) spent the weekend working alongside renowned chefs, Anna Gare and Guy Jeffreys at the Wandering Autumn Graze long table lunch. Showcasing the best produce from the Wheatbelt region, Naomi took part in the event through her school-based apprenticeship Certificate III Commercial Cookery. She was praised for her efficiency, skill and passion for food. Well done Naomi!
