Our Year 9 students recently held a bake sale to support the Opening the Doors Foundation, an Aboriginal-led organisation that provides educational support for First Nations children across Victoria. The students worked together to plan, bake and run the stall, offering everything from cupcakes to homemade slices and savoury snacks.
The bake sale was about more than fundraising. It invited our community to learn more about the work of Opening the Doors Foundation and the importance of equal access to education. Through posters, announcements and conversations, students helped raise awareness and encourage others to stand alongside First Nations families in practical and respectful ways.
We are grateful for the generosity of everyone who supported the stalls. The funds raised will contribute directly to school uniforms, books and learning resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Most importantly, the experience helped our Year 9s deepen their understanding of justice, partnership and walking together.
A warm congratulations to all involved, especially the Horizon team and Ms Galli, our Social Justice Coordinator.
