I had a chat with a few staff today about school connectedness and helping kids feel they belong. Its tough. Not enough resources, but I think the footy guys do amazing things.

Its this sort of thing that needs mentioning about hardworking people going the extra kilometre.
Not for big noting anyone but that people do care
At our work we have assorted thongs, some clothing and packet noodles
Its to give those released from detention something to wear and eat, they can be stranded in Perth with nothing
We also give out smart riders and bus tickets to get them home
The cost is tiny but helps someone out who is desperate.
The police have no responsibility once they bring them down here.

This morning a guy brought his daughter in, apologising for needing a lunch pack (my school has free lunch for kids who have none). The admin lady said we have some leftover bread, do you want it? He hesitated, she loaded up a shopping bag and handed it over. Not the kind of person who wants handouts, but he needs it at the moment as the family are going through a really rough time.

It’s good to read these things, balances out the other awful stuff in the world
