Mr. Allen's ... Team 5

By Stewart Allen

My class is fundraising to become a Hutt St hero!

During Health lessons and discovering food available at The Adelaide Central Market my students began discussing options to donate fruit or vegetables to Hutt St Shelter. However, we made the decision to donate needed funds to help others. They discussed what it would be like to go without everyday things we are all used to. 

So my class... Team 5 will be raising funds for the 6,000 people experiencing homelessness in South Australia. All funds go to Hutt St Centre who have been supporting people for more than 65 years by providing a hearty meal, a hot shower, all in a safe, welcoming space.

Team 5 BE THE CHANGE and BE THE RE- GENERATION

We would be so grateful for your support!

Together we can help end homelessness.

My Updates

Team 5’s Enthusiasm goes next level…

Saturday 18th Sep
Thanks so much again to all those we know, the anonymous and the people we don’t even know who you are. Your small donations are certainly adding up to make significant changes to the lives of the homeless here in Adelaide. 
Your support and donations have given my class the opportunity to further extend in their “greatness” to the point of going to the next level. 
During our gratitude circle, a student shared his awakening and his internal desire to help others less fortunate than himself. 
This has to be one of my most proudest teaching moments… it’s not in the curriculum as such however, it’s a real life, current local/global issue. My only wish is this particular student goes on and makes his desire a reality in his working life. 

WOW TEAM 5... Can you believe the response we've had?

Monday 6th Sep
Upon leaving school at 3:10pm Friday we had collected $77.
The response over this weekend from Team 5 students: giving up pocket money, doing chores, friends and family donations and grandparents chipping in too is truly amazing. 
WELL PLAYED TEAM 5, WELL PLAYED 
Goal 3 kicked off the park too.
I am so proud to be your teacher, your empathy and sincerity is beyond measurable. 

Today's Class Discussion

Friday 3rd Sep
Our class was a buzz with excitement seeing the donations appearing overnight and counting the coins from yesterday. 
Our PE teacher upon hearing about our mission made a personal appearance to make a donation and impart Canadian words of wisdom upon us!
We kicked our first goal out of the park then quickly our second goal. Team 5 are excited to reach $250.
Who knows could it be a $1000 before the end of the year?
