Bellarine Secondary College principal Wayne Johanneson was the guest speaker at the August Country Women’s Association Ocean Grove Branch meeting.
CWA members have supported the college students, their families and the school since 2008 when food vouchers were given to a student who had left home.
In recent years the fundraising proceeds have provided IT school library loan computers and resources.
“The students are central to everything they do and the college is committed to restorative practices and believes that positive, empathetic relationships are critical to a safe environment,” Mr Johanneson said.
“All donations were welcome and we thank the members for their ongoing support.”
Members were delighted to hear about the students’ community focus, academic achievements and a number of initiatives including Daily Home Group, Farm My School and the Equine Program.
They were inspired and motivated to continue helping children, women and families in the community.
The next major CWA fundraiser will be an indulgent Community High Tea on Friday October 19 at Seniors Club Ocean Grove.
CWA members are a small friendly group and welcome new members.
