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.
Christmas Appeal
Can you believe Christmas is only two months away?! Our School is once again supporting the UnitingCare West Christmas Appeal this year, supporting those who are disadvantaged in our community. Our community is encouraged to donate any food items from the list below, dropping the items to Homerooms. Donations open today and will remain open until the end of Week 7.

NAIDOC Week
A brand new mural at UnitingCare West‘s Merriwa service hub, painted by our Carramar Year 10 students, was unveiled today in celebration of NAIDOC Week. A project of the Year 10 Service Learning Program, the mural creation encouraged students to embody Aboriginal culturural significance in their artwork while engaging with the local community.
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.
