🎒CHARITIES & SCHOOLS WORKING TOGETHER........

Irrawang High School CAPA Faculty recently undertook their annual tour, this year they called it "Just Keep Swimming". We were able to assist a Public School on their journey, which we have done for many years. The fortunate school this year was Cannonvale State School.

Whilst our Charity is Port Stephens based we continue to not only support local we are also able to spread our assistance and support to schools throughout the state.

Our partnership with Irrawang High School continues to develop and we are so proud that we are able to work with them in this way, assisting schools and students with backpacks complte with all of the essential school supplies including lunch box and drink bottle, plus a handball in every backpack.

Thank you for helping us spread support. ❤ 🎒

Go green for mental health with Mental Health Australia ! 💚✨

The green ribbon represents hope, renewal, and a commitment to mental wellbeing. Today, on World Mental Health Day we wear green to show solidarity with those struggling, to honor their resilience, and to fight the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Let's make the world a little kinder and more understanding—one conversation at a time.
