Foundation Charity Dinner 2020

The continuing theme for this year's Charity Dinner is United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.

"Sustainability is most often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.*

It has three main pillars: economic, environmental and social. "

The Alice Smith School and the Foundation are excited to support this theme as the school progresses towards new long-term development plans focused on creating a sustainable future for our children, the environment and the community. The community work that our students carry out ensures that we embark on projects towards achieving these goals.

Be the change that matters. Support our students and see how your contribution makes a difference! #BeRemarkable Support a Sustainable Future
