Kindness Day, on 13 November at 4.30pm at the QCWA Hall in Eumundi. The annual KindnessCounts Awards are a celebration of everyday kindness and the positive power of the Eumundi community. With 48 nominations received for acts of kindness, the students wanted to contribute something meaningful. Their gifts are environmentally friendly seed bombs – tiny balls of clay, compost and wildflower seeds – carefully crafted to symbolise how each act of kindness plants hope for the future. Just as seeds need time and care to grow, kindness nurtures communities, helping them bloom in lasting ways. EarlyAct club members made the seed bombs using natural materials and local seeds that encourage bees and butterflies while brightening gardens, verges and shared spaces around Eumundi. The Rotary Club of Eumundi started the EarlyAct club at ESS in mid-2021, which is for primary school students in Yr5 and 6. The club focuses on community service and developing leadership skills. Its members work with teacher mentor Cont. p3
