Christmas is a tough time for families who are already struggling.

Share a little magic this Christmas and give a gift to a child in need. 

Can you please donate some Xmas presents to The Kids In Need.  
The Student Leaders will organise to deliver them to Kids in Need. 


The toys need to be unwrapped and brand new. Here are somethings you could bring:

- card games (Uno, monopoly deal etc.)

- sport equipment (rugby, soccer, basketball, netballs)

- lego/ duplo

- stationery/ arts/ crafts

- school backpacks
