During the Christmas term pupils have been supporting the Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child campaign by donating boxes of children’s gifts.

The pupils collected more than 400  gift wrapped shoeboxes which they filled with gifts including toys, pens, pencils, hats and scarves along with personal Christmas cards which will be given to children in third world countries.

Operation Christmas Child is a project that helps meet critical needs of victims of war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disasters.  It is one of St George’s College Junior School’s annual charitable activities which encourages the pupils to help others less fortunate than themselves.
Junior School Chaplain Emma Hurley said “The shoe box appeal is great as it involves our children bringing joy to other children in the world”.
