In a touching display of unity and compassion, Whitsunday Anglican School’s 2025 Service Captains – Lachlan, Charli and Tahsin – have led a heartfelt initiative to support families in need across the Mackay region.
Partnering with The Neighbourhood Hub, the School community rallied behind their call, gathering school essentials for those who may not otherwise have access to these basic but vital items. From pens and pencils to backpacks, books, lunchboxes, and hats, every donation was a quiet reminder that small gestures can make a big difference.
“Our students and wider Whitsunday family have donated items such as pens, pencils, books, backpacks, lunchboxes, hats and more,” a representative from Whitsunday Anglican School said.
“Together, we're making a difference, one act of kindness at a time.”
Melissa Green, Director of the Mackay Community Foundation, personally visited the School to receive the donations on behalf of the community.
There was something poetic in the quiet determination of these students, a belief that change can begin with the contents of a schoolbag. It’s more than just giving supplies – it’s about giving hope.
In a world where kindness sometimes whispers, Whitsunday Anglican School chose to speak loudly with love.
