Students from Northlakes High School spent a day giving back to the community during their last week of school.
The week is always full of fun both inside the school gates and out in the community.
On Wednesday, September 24, the Class of 2025 popped on their gardening gloves and high vis workwear and ventured up to Camp Breakaway to volunteer their services, led by Year 12 Advisor Blake Dawkins.
Staff at Camp Breakaway greeted the students and gave them jobs to do around the grounds.
They weeded, mulched and did a general tidy-up, also managing some free time to enjoy the facilities at Camp Breakaway.
The staff provided them with morning tea and cold drinks and the school rewarded them with pizza for lunch.
“Volunteering is an incredible way to make a positive impact and your efforts have contributed meaningfully to the wellbeing and strength of your community,” a school spokesperson said.
“By giving your time, you have developed valuable skills such as teamwork, communication, empathy, and problem-solving.
“These experiences not only benefit those you have helped but also enrich your personal growth and future opportunities.
“Your selflessness and dedication during such a busy and important year in your education are truly commendable.
“You have set a positive example for your peers and demonstrated the powerful role young people can play in creating a better society.
“We are incredibly proud of your achievements and the positive impact you continue to make.”
