Irymple Secondary Food Drive
Vision
…
Motto
“Canned food is good food”
CLP Summary:
We chose a food drive to be our idea because there are a lot of people within our community who are homeless, or financially unstable who aren’t always able to afford or access food.
Our vision is to do this by advertising on our schools Instagram and Facebook to let people know about our idea and so that we get more people to participate. People would be able to donate canned goods and other preserved food items to us, then we would go to the charity of our choice and hand the food into them to give to people around our community that are in need of it. We would base this at school so the parents can get involved with easy access of sending your child to school with their donatable items. But if it goes further we could do something on a weekend so more people get to donate. We would try and get all the work done sometime in term 3 so that when term 4 comes we are all ready to make it happen.

“Big deposit for food bank“
Sunraysia Daily | Nov 07, 2022
AFTER attending Alpine School’s eight-week leadership camp, six Irymple Secondary College students created a charitable community project.
The students, alongside teachers Tash Colson and Nat Timmis, demonstrated their recently developed organisation and public- speaking skills through creating a food drive at their school to assist Sunraysia Mallee Ethnic Communities Council’s food bank.
The CLP is the curriculum thread that runs in an adjoining and continuous manner through the program. It provides the purpose for attendance and the motivation for departure. Students are intrinsically connected to their projects, which aim to deliver an action outcome of their learning into their home communities.
