The students of Holroyd School Merrylands participated in S.E.A.T Project to support their community and give something back. They wanted to initiate change, to be a part of the bigger picture, to have an effect on the world, to make a difference, to say ‘thank you’, to give instead of receive, but most of all, to show that they are CAPABLE of helping others! They have certainly done this!
S.E.A.T Project was a catalyst for a school art exhibition. It was a colourful, rich and heartfelt display of the love and community that exists within the school. Some SEATs have been gifted to those “magical people” and organisations in the community that have strong and direct relationships with these children; speech pathologist, parent helpers, Westmead Children’s Hospital, Disaster Aid Australia, local child care centres, an indigenous education unit, local schools and shops.
The silent auction provided money for the students to give rubber rain boots to the children in Grande Ttio, Peru. They have already raised money for fresh food and underwear!
Holroyd School supports students with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. Many of the students have multiple disabilities.
