However, this year Irrawang has evoked a strong sense of community spirit and generosity.

Throughout this year they have held many charity donation and awareness days at school.

The students and staff have all been involved in organising the various events and collecting the donations.

Irrawang has raised a whopping $18,122 for charities such as Buy a Bale, Cerebral Palsy Alliance, Beanies for Brain Cancer, Legacy, Red Shield, Stewart House and Beyond Blue.

This tally doesn’t include the thirty or more cartons of much needed goods, that were collected by Buy a Bale for the farmers, or the products donated for the ‘It’s in the Bag’ appeal just this month.

Principal Paul Baxter said, “What I love most is the feeling of being part of our wonderful community both within the school and in our wider community.”
