CABOOLTURE State School has seized a rare opportunity to support schools in developing communities through Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment (RARE). The program gives disused items a new life, reducing landfi ll while promoting sustainability and helping those in need.
Seeking a better option than disposal, Business Manager Paula Connolly contacted the Rotary Club of Caboolture to donate surplus furniture.
Within a fortnight, some of the furniture was en route to the Solomon Islands, with the rest soon heading to other schools in need. The donation will provide desks and chairs for students who would otherwise work on bare fl oors.
Caboolture Rotarian Leon Misfeld (pictured) praised the school’s thoughtfulness, saying such generosity underpins RARE’s success.
