As I’ve talked about previously, much of my activity this term has focused on helping the school support the RSPCA. Last week we saw our efforts start to come to fruition. Vanessa Richardson (Manager, RSPCA Gympie Shelter), Jess Elson (Puppy Foster Carer), and her mum Elaine visited the Senior Secondary classes. Even more exciting, though, was that Jess brought along Kyle, her 2-month-old foster puppy. The staff and the kids all loved interacting with Kyle, and learning about the important work done by the RSPCA and their volunteers. Before they left, we gifted Vanessa, Jess, and Elaine with a hamper made up of the many things that were donated by the school community. The ladies greatly appreciated our generosity and assured us that the items would go to good use.

My role is to support the wellbeing of staff, students, parents, and others in our school community. If you ever need to have a chat or help with something, please contact me. I’m at school on Tuesday (8.30-11.35) and Thursday (9.30-2.35), and can also be contacted via email – rsdri0@eq.edu.au.
