A Day of Giving: Carleton Jones High School's Grade 11s Deliver Donations to Rotara School

The school shared the outreach under the heading "A Day of Giving", describing the visit as the final step of a collection drive in which learners, parents and teachers donated goods for Rotara School. The school said it was honoured to be part of the project.

Learners on the front line of giving

It was the Grade 11 learners who travelled to Rotara School to deliver the donations in person. According to the school, seeing its learners show kindness, compassion and true community spirit made staff proud.

"Thank you, Grade 11's – you did not just deliver goods, you delivered hope," the school wrote.

A whole-school effort

The collection was not limited to one grade. Carleton Jones thanked every learner, parent and teacher who donated to and supported the initiative, making it a project that involved the wider school community.

The photographs shared by the school show a large group of Grade 11 learners in their red blazers gathered outside on the day of the visit.
