The Year 11 students made Neo-natal dresses for the Tiny Sparks Foundation.

“These little dresses are given to premature babies too small to fit any commercially made clothing,” she said.

The Year 12 students made knitted blankets to help keep people warm during winter.

“I am really proud of the student’s selfless attitude towards their project.”
