Personal Development at Toorak College

In Year 9 Personal Development at Toorak College, every student goes to a Retirement Village called Lorikeet Lodge. The students go on one day for a few weeks. We talk to the people and ask them questions. I participated in this program.

Toorak College Fund Raisers

Toorak College as a school rises thousands of dollars each year to donate to many causes. This includes charities like International Women’s Day, the Bush Fire Appeal and the starlight foundation. We have many free dress days and food stalls, with the aim to make money and give to charities. I have donated to each and every fund raisers.

Making a difference in Tute

At school we do many fund raisers to help and donate to charities and our community. We do this mainly through our tute groups. Tute is another term for homeroom.

What I love about our set up is that it allows for direct questions to the poet. Please walk me through the creation of this poem.

"When we read poetry we gain insight. When those poems come from all over, we broaden our view of what frightens us, what makes us happy, what makes us sad, what we love, and what we can do to make a difference." EXACTLY. This is what inspired me...

These simple things make everyone's day a bit brighter and the load that they carry a bit lighter. It also means the world to us when someone shows that they care enough to help. This is inspiring, Erik. I hope you will continue sharing here!
