We want to extend a big heartfelt thank you to our communities and the generosity they have shown us over the last three and a half weeks.

From sweet treats and coffee to lunches from community members and parent councils, to coffees, support and much much more. Thank you.

Your support means more than our words can express. Thank you for standing with us!
