Community Service Project - The Rucksack Challenge


Dear Parents

This week in assembly students were introduced to the annual St Chris 'Rucksack Challenge'.

This community service intiative involves the form groups working together to pack two ruck sacks with much needed clothing, toiletries and essentials that are then given out to migrant workers at a labour camp in the local area.

Having been to a labour camp myself as part of this project, I can tell you first hand how grateful and important our support is to these hardworking and underpaid men and women.

Form groups will decide who is responsible for providing each item in the rucksack. In the past, some students have been so enthusiastic about the project they have taken it upon themselves (and their families) to provide additional full rucksacks themselves.

You can find details of the project here:
