We've been inundated with people telling us the wonderful things that they have been doing to support our schools and early childhood centres affected by bushfire. If you, too, would like to share the types of activities your school and early childhood community are doing to help, please send us your comments. Please note, posts are moderated, and will not appear on this weblog until the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has approved them.

If you would like to financially support our schools and early childhood services affected by the fires, please donate to the 2009 Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund.

La Trobe University Community Children’s Centre called for donations of new toys and books for the children who had lost everything in the recent bushfires. Paragon Publishing company donated some 4,000 new books for us to distribute to fire affected communities. Some of the books, the more activity based, were distributed to Community Centres imediately. We also have replenished a considerable number of children’s personal libraries. The remaining books it is proposed be used to replenish the libraries of those schools and kindergartens damaged in the recent fires.

I live in Wandong/Heathcote Junction and experienced the black saturday fires first hand. I work at Coolaroo South Primary school and kindergaten where the staff and children raised over $1000 for the bush fire appeal. What a wonderful effort for a school with 220 students. Thanks to every one for their genourosity.  Keep it up.
