The Year 11 VCAL students are currently fundraising much needed funds and items for local charity group, Geelong Mums.

Geelong Mums provide essential items to local mums and children to help give them the best start in life. All items are donated and then re-homed to mums and children in need.

Geelong Mums not only helps local mums, but are also part of the growing ‘circular economy’ by rehoming items that would often end up in landfill.

If you would like to donate, the Year 11 VCAL students have set-up donation boxes around the college, including the staffroom, library, and school office, where you can drop off one of the products listed on the boxes, including (but not limited to):
