Stall combines treats with history

Olympic posters

Historic Olympic Games official posters will be among the items on sale at a fundraising stall for the school’s Chaplaincy Program across the road from the polling booth at Sunshine Beach State School on Saturday. The stall at St Andrews Anglican Church will have a wide range of items including jams, pickles, cards, books, craft, Bric-a-brac, farm fresh eggs as well as Historic Olympic Games official posters.

There will be morning refreshments with muffins, tea/coffee and lemon cordial.

Chaplain Lisa Klein said the funds raised would support students dealing with complex emotional issues such as family separation and grief, help students process every day social issues such as friendships, and provide fun activities for students at lunchtime. “It will also assist with anxiety issues such as students struggling to come to school, which has increased during Covid-19,” she said.

The stall is being run by members of the SBSS Local Task Force and parishioners of the St. Andrews Church from 8 am until 1 pm to provide financial and strategic support for Lisa as Chaplain to deliver a platform of “safe hands” to the school.
