Students continued the ‘Less of Me and More of You’ theme, adding to their 21 Acts for Service for 2018 by visiting the Forum over several weeks and offering help to shoppers.

The next acts of service include helping visitors and spending time with the elderly at a local retirement village, cleaning the Middle School and accepting an invitation to help at Cohuna Koala Park, Byford.
