Supporting Back to School!

​The Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre is gearing up for a busy “back to school” period.  Having had a much earned Christmas break, the Hub has opened its doors in time to receive a very generous donation of stationery supplies from Father Damien and the parishioners of St Patrick’s, St Teresa’s and St Peter’s Catholic Churches.  This includes pencils, pens, highlighters, sharpeners and rubbers, glue, textas, coloured pencils, rulers, lunch boxes, drink bottles, back packs, tissues and reams of paper.   We have also received generous donations from other individuals and organisations in Ingham, including, Ingham Home Rosary Group, Bendigo Bank and Ingham Newsagency on Cartwright Street. 
From day one of school the potential for great educational outcomes is improved if children have all the resources and books required.  It is paramount that we value education and support local families getting their children to school. 
Any family  needing support due to hardship to get their children ready for school is asked to bring the book list for each child.  Appointments can be made from this coming Monday, 11th January 2016, by phoning The Hub on 4776 1822.
We will be receiving donations up until school starts, any cash donations are welcomed, since they will allow us to purchase text books through local newsagencies.  Any donations can be dropped off at the Hub at McIlwraith Street, cash are tax deductible, since the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre is a registered charity.
