23.01.2022 Once again we have had amazing support of the wider community in resourcing our activities to make them affordable for families. Northreach Baptist Church donated the use of their bus for our camp and have supported us in this manner for the last 5 years. We are so thankful for their support of our school and of the chaplaincy program of which they contribute significantly over the school year. Although there is a government grant for part of our chaplaincy program (covering about 1 day per week), the rest of the 2.5 days of chaplaincy service is funded through fund-raising, community support from those like Northreach and other individual and groups sponsors and the support of the school P&C.
