Easter Excess Egg Endowment

Royal Far West School

One of the most rewarding experiences I have had in recent times took place in the first week of the School Holidays. Following the Easter Raffle, the P&F decided that it would be appropriate to donate the excess Easter eggs to some boys and girls that needed them more than our boys. They selected the Royal Far West School; a NSW public school providing educational services to the clients of the Royal Far West. The school works with over 1500 students aged 3-18 each year, all from country NSW, often from remote areas of the state.

On the Thursday before Easter I took a large box of Easter eggs to the school and made the donation on our behalf. As I explained the situation to the teachers of the school their faces were covered in joy, as they knew the impact that such a donation would have on the lives of the young people over Easter.

This week we received a hand-made card and letter from the school thanking us for our donation and thoughtfulness. As a privileged school community with great resources it is simply brilliant to be able to have such a positive impact on the lives of others. Well done and thank you!
