The Salvation Army have been overwhelmed by the large number of year 10 , 11 and 12 boys who have volunteered to participate in this year’s Red Shield Appeal door knock, on Sunday May 26.

The boys have responded magnificently to this Charity Appeal and now the call is going out to parents and teaching staff to volunteer as drivers on the day.

Drivers would need to be at Newington at 8.20am. They would then take the boys (usually in team of 4) to a specified location in the local area and stay in the vicinity whilst the boys collect door to door.

The boys collect from 9-11am and then need to be returned to school. We are also manning a barbecue (if people can’t make the early start).

This is a great opportunity for our College community to come together as a team with boys, parents and staff working to assist the Salvos – arguably Australia’s most well recognized and respected charitable organizations.

Your involvement will not only help the Salvos continue their work in helping Australia’s needy, you will make a powerful statement to our boys about the importance of giving of ourselves to others.

To assist with planning, volunteer drivers are asked to send their contact details to the Head of Service Learning, Mick Madden

The greatest gift that we can give to others is the gift of our time!

Mr Mick Madden
Head of Service Learning
