As part of their involvement with the local community, all the Year 9 students at Highcliffe School have spent the last eight weeks collecting packaged foods and tinned goods for Christchurch Food Bank. This local food bank runs from St Joseph’s Church in Purewell, every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, providing three days’ worth of food for families and individuals who are in crisis and have no money for food.
Together, the students of Year 9 have collected over 950 items of produce, ranging from cornflakes to coffee, tinned fish and meat, to soups, cereals and vegetables. Students were provided a list of twenty staple foods that they could choose from. Instead of just the one item, many brought in two or three, some even bringing in the whole shopping list. Others donated money from their savings accounts to buy food to donate.
“I’m so proud of our students! They have taken the time to think of others and joined in as one to make a difference to our local community.”
Sally Riley, Pastoral Lead for Year 9
