This year, the school came together with the Perth Baptist Church to take part in the Operation Christmas Child campaign.
The international program asks communities to fill a shoebox with items to make Christmas a bit merrier for overseas children.
Categories included something to wear, something to play with, and something for personal hygiene.
The school managed to collect enough materials to fill 60 boxes to send to students in Thailand and Cambodia.
Grade 6 pupil Lilyanne Richardson said it was exciting to be a part of a project that helped out so many children around the world.
“I thought it was really cool to see everything going to somebody who wouldn’t usually get these things,” Lilyanne said.
“When they get the boxes I think they’re going to feel a complete rush of joy and it will be amazing for them.”
