St. Peters’ College Year 11 VCAL students have conducted a project week to benefit local community organisations and primary schools.
Year 11 students from both the Cranbourne and Clyde North campuses conducted the week as part of their VCAL program.
The students have been planning a range of projects over the term, including constructing wooden rocking horses with volunteers at the Junction Village Men’s Shed, constructing a sensory garden and chook shed at St. Agatha’s Primary School and volunteering at Cranbourne-based charity BackPacks4VICKids.
“The students have really enjoyed working with a different range of groups in our community,” VCAL coordinator at the Cranbourne campus, Chris O’Hara said.
“It gives our students a real sense of satisfaction to know that from their planning and hard work, other people will benefit from the sensory garden, the wooden rocking horses or donating much needed goods.
“We have developed some strong relationships with these community organisations and we look forward to this continuing in the future,” he said.
