CatholicCare's School Savvy CQ initiative is a vital lifeline for local families in financial distress during the back-to-school season. Through pop-up shops across Mackay, Rockhampton, Gladstone, and Bundaberg, the program offers crucial low-cost uniforms and essential stationery.
During the official launch for 2024, Member for Mackay Julieanne Gilbert commended the initiative, stating, 'It was an honour to join with the staff for the official launch for 2024. Well done to everyone involved!'
In a time of rising living costs, School Savvy CQ stands as a crucial resource, ensuring every child has access to necessary educational tools. The upcoming January pop-up shops play a pivotal role in alleviating educational inequalities.
No child should ever be denied an education, especially for reasons completely outside of their control such as facing financial hardship.
School Savvy CQ aims to ensure that every child has access to the basic resources that they need to succeed at school.
