In a touching display of Faith in Action, students at Trinity Primary School turned their own hardship into an opportunity to give back.
After their classrooms were damaged by storms, they knew first-hand the struggles of rebuilding and the comfort of community support. Determined to spread kindness, they reached out to those facing similar challenges.
The students assembled heartfelt care packages filled with homemade cookies, tea bags, chocolates, and even “portable hugs”—small tokens meant to bring warmth and reassurance.
Prayer was also an integral part of their gift, reflecting their belief in the power of faith and compassion. These packages were distributed to community members as a gesture of solidarity and encouragement.
Wanting to extend their support even further, the Trinity students visited Bunyip Day Care at their new location at the Racecourse, where children had also lost classrooms to the storms. With bright smiles and warm hearts, they delivered puffer fish balloons, bringing joy and laughter to young students in need of a lift.
Their simple act of kindness proved that even in difficult times, giving to others can create a ripple effect of goodwill.
And indeed, the circle of care came back around. This week, St. Pat’s Primary School in Bega surprised Trinity students with a special gift—Ninjago LEGO sets for every student. The unexpected act of kindness filled the Trinity students with joy, reinforcing the idea that what goes around truly does come around.
Faith in action is about more than belief—it’s about how we show up for one another in times of need. The students at Trinity School have exemplified this principle, demonstrating that even in the face of loss, kindness and generosity can create lasting connections and bring joy to all involved.
