A huge well done to our Year 9 students for their outstanding efforts in this year's Food Drive. Thanks to their generosity, enthusiasm, and commitment, we were able to collect and deliver a substantial amount of food and essential items to the Stanwell Foodbank.
The response from students, families and staff was incredible. Donations included a wide range of non-perishable foods, toiletries, and household essentials that will help support local families in our community during challenging times.
This initiative has demonstrated the kindness, compassion, and community spirit that our students show when working together towards a common goal. We are extremely proud of the maturity and generosity shown by Year 9 throughout the campaign.
A special thank you goes to everyone who contributed, donated and helped organize the collection. Your support has made a real difference to people in our local area.
Well done, Year 9, for making such a positive impact in the community. Your efforts have shown that even small acts of kindness can have a huge effect when we all work together.

A Moment of Mindfulness at TKC!
At breaktime this week, Mr Hassan brought a little calm and creativity to our quad with a mini wellbeing workshop!
Pupils and staff had the opportunity to explore Ensō, a Japanese mindful art practice using brushstrokes to encourage calm, focus and self-expression.
A wonderful opportunity to pause, connect and enjoy a moment of mindfulness during the school day.
A huge thank you to Muhammad for bringing our school community together through creativity and wellbeing! 💚
