At just six years old, Prep student Arthur has shown that age is no barrier when it comes to making a meaningful difference in the community.
Learning about the College Value of Compassion, Arthur took his learning home and after a conversation with his family about people experiencing crisis, both globally and locally, he wondered how he might help people in his own community who were doing it tough this winter.
Arthur’s idea was to collect winter items for people in need. With the College community behind him, donations started to flood in. With a goal to fill two cardboard boxes this soon overflowed, and by the end of the four-week drive, an entire van was filled.
Thanks to Arthur’s compassion and the generosity of the community, many Tasmanians facing hardship this winter will feel a little warmer, and a lot more supported.
