Volunteer Army Complete Their Task

The Volunteer Army, Year 7 and 8 students, have completed their task with the help of the rest of the Rosebank School community. Our Year 7 and 8 students took on the challenge to gather goodies to put into Compassion Boxes, and then send these out to people in the community who might have fallen on hard times, or might just need a boost.

When we started this project we thought we would be able to make 6 or 7 boxes, however, with the generous support of our community, we were able to put together 15 boxes! These boxes contain lots of different items including toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand lotion, tinned food, pasta and pasta sauce, snacks for lunch boxes and lots of other little bits and pieces. It was so good to see the enthusiasm of the students as they painted their boxes, sorted items to put in to it and then wrap the boxes.

With the help of Mr. McLaughlin, these boxes will be distributed to those people in the community who are struggling or who need a boost. We wish them well, and hope they enjoy the goodies and the thoughtfulness put into these boxes.
