In a demonstration of true Catholic community spirit, , Flemington, has mobilised over recent days to support the families of its 33 students locked down in the area’s community housing towers.

Staff have pitched in to pack boxes of goods, including food, personal items and even nappies.

In addition, the school has delivered iPads and Chromebooks to ensure the students and families have access to the technology they need to stay in touch with their school and resume remote learning if, and when, it becomes necessary.

The school has supported families by hosting virtual support meetings using Google Meet. The meetings have been well attended by families in lockdown, as well as the wider community across the parishes of Flemington and Kensington.

Principal Peter Hayes says he couldn’t be prouder of the way the school and wider community have come together to assist, even over the holiday period.

‘This is a very challenging time for everyone in our 3031 community postcode and every little bit helps.

‘As a Catholic school, we want to take whatever action we can to support our families, and especially those locked down in the community housing towers.

‘We want them to know that we are here for them and doing what we can to ensure they have what they need and, even more importantly, feel supported and connected to their school community.

‘I’d especially like to thank state MP Ellen Sandell and her office for assisting us to make the contacts we needed to get the goods to our families, and to staff from the Department of Justice and Community Safety for helping to coordinate our efforts and arrange delivery.

‘Particular thanks also to Dishella Overend, our Director of Business and Operations, for helping us to coordinate with the Department of Health and Human Services, and to all the staff and parents who supported the initiatives.

‘We will continue to look for ways to support all our families over the coming weeks’, Mr Hayes said.
