We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Bunnings Colac for generously donating materials to support a very special student project.
Thanks to your kindness, our students have been able to create beautiful “Thank You” boards that will be displayed throughout our local communities. These boards are a small but meaningful way for our students to express their gratitude to the incredible individuals who worked tirelessly during the Otways Bushfires this year.
To all of the emergency services personnel, volunteers and community members who gave their time, energy and care — we are incredibly grateful to you all. ❤️
