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.

Wildlife Warriors

Carramar’s Year 7 students braved the rain this week to do their bit for the environment. Teaming up with the City of Wanneroo, our students have been planting trees throughout local parks, aiming to give back to the community and contribute to local sustainability.

     

       

   

   

Caring For Our Community

Our Carramar Secondary students regularly visit UnitingCare West Community Options, a centre for adults living with disability. In their most recent visit, students used their woodwork skills to assist the Men in Sheds project. Students helped clients prepare and cook lunch and shared a meal with them.

Our students shine during each visit as they use their skills to help a worthy cause and get to know the members of our wider community.
