Year 7 students at John Kyrle High School embraced the spirit of Christmas and the message of Operation Christmas Child by donating presents which would be delivered to needy children around the world.

The students were asked, with the help of parents, to fill shoe boxes with small gifts which would be appreciated by children less fortunate than themselves. The gifts are shipped to children all over the world. Often these children are victims of war, poverty, famine, disease or natural disaster.
