05.01.2022 This Sunday, a group of Year 6 students are hiking 6km around Picnic Point to raise funds for Base Services. This is such a vital local service which provides assistance and support to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. 2020 has been a tough year for most but a really hard year for others and Base Services have seen an influx of people seeking their assistance. If you have a few dollars to spare the students would really appreciate your support. Thank you!
