Early start to giving

Gippsland Grammar School, VIC

Gippsland Grammar St Anne’s Early Learning students are exploring the concept of caring for others by donating non-perishable food items to Anglicare for families in need.

ELC Director Lisa Burgess said by encouraging the students in the Centre’s four-year-old ‘Transition’ program to contribute, helped the students understand the concepts of social justice and empathy.

“We encourage the children to reflect on how lucky they are to have a home, warm clothes, education, loving families and food,” Mrs Burgess said.

“Children are never too young to learn about these important themes that we hope they will carry with them through their lives. By making a donation, they have a tangible example of how they can make a difference.” Mrs Burgess
