Hands-On Experience
Students rolled up their sleeves to pick and pack food donations, creating food parcels for local families. They developed practical skills in organisation, teamwork, and collaboration
throughout the day.
Loading the Vans
The initiative concluded with students loading delivery vans with food parcels, ensuring donations reached those most in need. The experience taught empathy and social
responsibility in a meaningful, real-world setting.
