The Biggest Morning Tea
On Friday of Week 5, Jacob and the Cooking Social Action Group hosted a Biggest Morning Tea. Families and carers joined us for a wonderful gathering, and together we raised an impressive $1,115!
All proceeds raised will support the Cancer Council in helping those affected by cancer.
A big thank you to our generous event sponsors: Floozy, Corner House, Woolworths, ALDI, Franks, 3 Monkeys, and Liebe Pastries. Along with Clontarf and everyone who helped ensure the event ran smoothly.
Social Action Project Group Spotlight: Bikes
The Social Action Project Group (SAPG): Bikes is led by Advisor Will.
From past experience of being a bike mechanic, he witnessed a lot of people stop riding bikes because they didn't know how to maintain them. Yet, he saw how beneficial riding bikes was for mental health and for the environment. Will says this was his motivation for starting Bikes.
Recently the SAPG went to Merewether Public School to teach a group of students from Kindergarten to Year 6 . They taught the kids basic maintenance skills such as: lubing chains, safety checks (M check - checking bolts, nothing is broken, everything is correctly tightened and adjusted).
Will commented on how rewarding this experience was, and how impressed he was to see all the members of his SAPG step into the role of mentors, sharing their knowledge and supporting the kids. They also donated two bikes and plan to go back and donate more in the future!

Social action
The group fixes bikes for free, educates others and donates bikes to those in need. This helps people's physical and mental health. Plus can even help people out financially.
They are currently seeking donations for kids bikes. Specifically good quality 20", 24" and 26" wheel sizes. Example pictured below:

SAPG reflections
Whats the most fun part about your SAPG?
Student response: "The feeling you get when you can make people happy by helping them. Learning new skills and techniques."
CHC Clean Up
On Thursday Week 5, all advisories headed out into the community to pick up rubbbush and tidy up spaces. Each advisory had a green ambassador who delivered a Pos Ed lesson to their room and lead each advisory in their clean up.
Together, students collected an outstanding 84.66 kg of rubbish. The most prominant rubbish found was plastic, most commonly cups from fast food chains nearby.
The advisory that picked up the most rubbish was Advisory 7 who chose to clean up the Honeysuckle KFC. Thank you to everyone to helping us with our clean up and to our green ambassadors who spent all of Thursday afternoon sorting through the rubbish so that it could be disposed of properly.
How much did each advisory collect?
ADV 1 = 9.61 kg
ADV 2 = 3.92 kg
ADV 3 = 5.49 kg
ADV 4 = 14.39 kg
ADV 5 = 11 36 kg
