Operation Christmas Child

Today the Strength & Kindness team were able to put together the boxes we are sending away as part of 'Operation Christmas Child'. 
It was wonderful to see the huge amount of gifts donated by our school community. The children who receive these will certainly have a smile on their faces.





The photograph below shows the finished boxes. In total we created 61 boxes. Well done everyone and thanks for your support.
