This year our Wellbeing Leaders are organising shoeboxes as part of Operation Christmas Child – where shoeboxes filled with gifts are given to children in developing nations who may otherwise not receive a Christmas gift.

We are asking for the school community to donate items towards these boxes, which will then be packed by the Wellbeing Leaders.

Items for the boxes can be left at the front office or given directly to Jenni Forder and can be dropped off until the end of week 10 (Friday 26 September).

Please consider buying a gift for a boy or girl aged 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14 in the following categories:

• Clothing (t-shirt, socks, pyjamas, shoes etc)
• Personal Care items (toothbrush, combs, bar of soap, hairbrush)
• School supplies (pens, pencils, sharpeners, notebooks, colouring books etc)
• Accessories (sunglasses, hair accessories, jewellery etc)
• WOW items and Toys (stuffed animals, dolls, toy cars, skipping ropes, yo-yos etc)

Please keep the items to a size that will fit into a standard size shoebox.

Please DO NOT include:

• Lollies, toothpaste, gum, used or damaged items, war-related items, food, liquids, lotions, glass or breakable items.

Many thanks.
