Students answer the call for food relief

Student Representative Council (SRC) members from years three to six at St Paul's Anglican Grammar School's junior school have banded together to promote compassion among students.
With the welfare of others forefront in their minds, the SRC worked hard to encourage their peers from across the primary school to collect non-perishable food items for those in need in our community as part of a "Crazy Hair and Bright Colours Day".
The baskets of food were gratefully collected by Anne and Tim from Baw Baw Food Relief for distribution in the community.
SRC captains Anna Raymond and Elizabeth McKerrow were overjoyed with the students' response to the food drive.
"We felt that Baw Baw Food Relief was a perfect charity to focus our attention on, especially with the rising cost of living," they stated.
"We wanted to support our local community and do our part in helping others. It gave all students the opportunity to understand the needs of our community and respond with compassion.
"We were overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and our expectations were definitely exceeded. We thank all families for their generosity and support."
