Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Generosity has been on full display at Pioneer State High School, where students and staff have once again united to support those in need through their annual Tin Drive.
This year’s campaign delivered an impressive contribution, with more than 1,900 tins, hygiene products and essential pantry items donated to Chances House Mackay.
Members of the school’s wellbeing team and student Pride group personally delivered the supplies to Chances House, where the donation was met with heartfelt gratitude from those who rely on the service.
School representatives said the overwhelming response from the community reinforced why the initiative continues to be an important tradition each year.
The school thanked every student who contributed money, food items or their time to support the drive, noting that even the smallest donation can make a meaningful difference.
This year’s effort was further strengthened by the support of Beaconsfield State School, which joined the initiative and helped collect additional tins.
The combined effort highlighted the strength of community spirit among local schools, with Pioneer State High School describing the outcome as “Pioneer pride at its finest.”
