Shoe Drive Success!

Throughout the month of May, our Year 6 students laced up for a meaningful cause—collecting gently used shoes to support our Solar Village partners in rural Chiang Mai. With incredible enthusiasm and generosity, the year group came together to donate 260 pairs of shoes, making a tangible difference for children and families in need.

A huge congratulations goes to 6P, who led the way with an impressive 69 pairs collected. Not far behind were 6S with 53 pairs and 6B with 44 pairs—a heartfelt thank you to all students and families who contributed.

This initiative was more than just a donation drive—it served as Year 6’s introduction to Community Engagement, helping students understand how small actions can have a big impact. As they prepare for their transition to Secondary, we hope this campaign sparks a lifelong interest in service, sustainability, and joining clubs and causes they are passionate about.

The donated shoes will be delivered in November during our annual Student Environmental Committee trip to Chiang Mai. The project, inspired by a need shared with us on our last visit, also introduced students to key concepts like fighting fast fashion, supporting circular economies, and listening to communities.

Well done, Year 6—you’ve truly walked the talk!
