CHARITY AND COMMUNITY GROUP

Master-in-Charge: Mr Simon Bootle

Year 10 boys volunteer to be members of the Charity and Community Group, with each House being represented by at least one member. The Group aims to promote the profile of charitable and caring work. Group members organise and run events such as Mufti Days, National Days, the collection of food for Anglicare, the 40 Hour Famine and Bandana Day. They are also involved, with the assistance of staff, in running the Middle School Dance.
 
Money raised as part of the Charity and Community Group’s initiatives is distributed to various charities, such as Anglicare, the Exodus Foundation, the Starlight Foundation, and Westmead Children’s Hospital. Members of the Group are involved in the decision of where the raised money is allocated.

The Group also organises regular visits to local nursing homes in support of the School’s awareness and involvement in the wider community. A timetable of visits is drawn up in consultation with members of the Group. When the School puts on a major production, the Charity and Community Group act as hosts for guests who attend from our local nursing homes.

Meeting Details:
Tuesday Recess from 10.55am to 11.15am in M0.1.
