IF YOU SEE A COLOURED CIRCLE AROUND OUR EMBLEM, DON'T FORGET TO TAP ON IT, FOR OUR LATEST STORY...you've got to get in quickly, as it disappears after 24 hours!
⬅️ SOME OF OUR STORIES ARE SAVED AS HIGHLIGHTS...
Regardless of age, it is so easy to get caught up with ourselves and worry about things not going the way we planned, or how we 'need' to have X, Y or Z...I always marvel at our students who show initiative and want to make a difference that will benefit others and not just themselves.
This week, Logan P in 5/6F, sold face masks out in Gladstone Park after school, under the supervision of her dad, with all proceeds going to Guide Dogs Australia. The masks have been locally made by a Balmain resident, who had featured in an issue of the Pigeon Post during remote learning. This resident had made masks and donated them to front-line workers. They were being sold at Fundamental Cafe, with each mask being sold allowing another 2 masks to be created.
Congratulations, Logan, on your initiative and efforts! Guide Dogs Australia will definitely appreciate the $200 that will be coming their way!
