In a powerful display of community spirit, Sunshine Coast Grammar School has donated over 160 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to The Shack Community Centre, Nambour.
The backpacks will be distributed to families in need across the Sunshine Coast this Christmas, ensuring children can start the 2026 school year prepared and confident.
The initiative is made possible by the school’s servant leadership program, Grammar Helping Hands, and the generosity of Year 5 students, who donated funds raised through their recent annual Market Day Stall. Our staff play a pivotal role in driving this initiative each year, working closely with students to ensure the appeal’s success.
“This appeal highlights the generosity of our students and their dedication to helping those in need,” shared Coordinator of Community & Service Mr Ben Princehorn.
The Shack will distribute them to local families over the holiday season. These supplies provide crucial support to families facing hardship and offer children a strong foundation as they begin the new school year.
For more than 15 years, Sunshine Coast Grammar School has been a proud partner with The Shack Community Centre and has donated close to 650 backpacks since the appeal began in 2019. We look forward to continuing this integral partnership in the years to come.
