Tree of Caring
- Details
- Friday 2nd December, 2011
Every year at Christmas we take time to think about how we can support children in the community who are less fortunate than us. We have a tradition of having a ‘Tree of Caring’ and ask the girls to bring an unwrapped present for another child the same age to place under the tree.
The ‘Tree of Caring’ is one way to demonstrate the caring and globally-minded girls we strive to develop through the International Baccalaureate Programme.
The City Mission was very grateful for the gifts as it had been a tough year for them to provide assistance in the community. Our gifts will bring smiles to the faces of many children in Christchurch on Christmas Day.
I would like to thank everyone for supporting this tradition.
