The Polished Man Charity

In Term 3, we were lucky enough to be back on campus so we could run and support some very worthwhile charities. On 24 September 2020 we organised a charity event to support the Polished Man. The Polished Man helps to keep all children happy and safe. For this charity, we were encouraged to wear nail polish and bring in a gold coin. We raised $191.35! Thank you to Chloe Opit in Year 4 for bringing this cause to our attention. 

The Friendship Circle

Another Term 3 event that we ran was an activity to support the Friendship Circle. This charity is all about educating people about the inclusion of all, and runs activities for disabled children. We organised a task where everyone had to write a message on a purple piece of paper about acts of kindness and then their pieces of paper were hung up in their classroom in one paper chain. Students wrote lovely things about how everyone should include everyone and that everyone is special in different ways.

We look forward to planning another charity event in Term 4 so stay tuned!
