New Lunchboxes for Students

Campbelltown East Public School received new lunchboxes, drink bottles and food containers from BIG W through Good360's Local Store Donation Program.

"I am seeing daily the positive impact that these gifts are having on Samuel's confidence. He wouldn't eat his lunch because he was worried that he would be teased about the container his food was in. During eating time, he would sit hunched over, embarrassed, and would only eat if he could wait until there was no one around while he got his food out and then ate in the classroom where no one could see him. When he received his new school bag with several gifts, including a new lunch box pack, he kept doing a little jig of excitement, almost as if he was in disbelief that they were all for him. He proudly wears his new school bag and brings his pencil case to class every day. I watched him today confidently taking out his lunch box and sitting with his friends, talking with them with a happy look on his face."

"Princess has proudly brought her new bag and equipment every day since she received them. Her quiet ‘thank you’ and happy smile when I said she could keep the bag and all the things inside showed just how important it is for all students to feel included and have the equipment they need."
