This year our Wellbeing Leaders will be 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.

A drop off point for gifts will be in the school library, and can be dropped off until the end of week 8 (Friday 16 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, socks, shoes etc)
• Personal Care items (toothbrush, combs, 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 DO NOT include:

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

If you have shoe boxes that you could donate, we need them too!

Many thanks.
