Packages for children in Gosford Hospital

Umina Beach Public School student leaders are making care packages for children and teenagers in Gosford Hospital.

The project is a part of the Brisbane Water Learning Community School Leadership Project.

Student leaders accepted donations of toys and other items last week to make the packages for children aged two to 12 and for teenagers aged 13 to 18.

Soft toys, dolls, card games, board games, colouring in books, pencils, crayons, dress up clothes, arts and craft supplies, crossword books, headphones, hair accessories, funny sock, toy cars, comic books, books, iTunes vouchers, toiletries, blankets, pyjamas, magazines and DVDs were just some of the items donated.

They will be sorted to make age appropriate gift packs for ward patients.

The packages will be presented to the hospital at the beginning of Term 4.
