In 2020, the College was proud to support the Monash Health Foundation with a donation of more than 340 items for families seeking medical care through Monash Health.

Representative from the Foundation, Melissa Moyle, visited our Pakenham Campus to collect the baby beanies, booties, toys, aprons, cardigans and scarves, and to thank Year 9 student Ruby Van Beveren for her personal donation of a large toy box containing essentials and a letter to a new mother in need. Ruby, one of the 2020 Berwick Year 9 captains, compiled the donation as part of her Common Good project.

Thank you to all among our College community who had a hand in making and donating these much-needed items, they will be delivered to the families who need them most this Christmas as a gift from Santa.

This initiative was just one of the incredibly successful programs run by the Beacon of Hope this year.
