Year 12 Healy 'Food Bank'

Last term Year 12 Healy students volunteered to work at the Food Bank on Jetty Road in Drysdale. We held a car wash at school as part of our fundraising effort and we raised over $200. With this money we bought food and other essential items and dropped these off on behalf of Year 12 Healy.

This semester we have continued to support them and have also started to work with Drysdale Second Chance Op Shop. We have collected old and new clothing from the Year 12 students and also received boxes of Cotton On clothing that we donated to The Second Chance Op Shop.

Our focus for our theme was looking at marginalisation and youth homelessness. Thanks to Sarah Bensted and Chloe Broadhurst (Ignatian leaders for their support ).

For the remainder of our Year 12 year we will continue to have a partnership with these not for profit organisations who aim to assist the less fortunate in our community.
