Champion Christmas Food Drive 2025
The Year 4 students, teachers and Nicole(from CHAMPION) would like to thank the Boronia Heights Community for all their contributions to the food drive this year. These generous donations will help many families in need this Christmas. Perhaps not surprising, but the Year level that brought in the most donations was Year 4 and the winning class was 4A with a total of 161 items.
Year 5 Wishing Tree
Instead of participating in a traditional Kris Kringle, the Year 5 students chose to walk down to Kmart and purchase gifts to place under the Wishing Tree so that under-privileged children would have something to open on Christmas Day. This meaningful alternative gave them the chance to think beyond themselves and make a positive contribution to the community. As they carefully selected toys, books, and other thoughtful items, the students expressed genuine excitement knowing their choices would brighten another child’s Christmas. By the end of the experience, they felt proud and fulfilled, realising how powerful and rewarding it can be to give rather than receive. This activity not only fostered empathy and generosity but also helped strengthen their understanding of compassion and community spirit.

Junior School Council Kmart Wishing Tree
Our BHPS Junior School Council representatives proudly took part in supporting the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal this year. As a group, they discussed different ideas, shared their perspectives and worked together to choose presents that would be meaningful and suitable for all age groups
To make the donation even more special, the JSC students designed and created their own wrapping paper. Each piece featured hand-drawn pictures and Christmas messages written by the students.
Thank you again to all our representatives for the commitment and hard work they have put in this year.
