The PFA organised a working bee to sort the outdated uniform items in the Second Hand Uniform Shop that could not be sold. The items were sorted and packaged to be sent to the Katalyst Foundation.
The Katalyst Foundation is a charity that sends much needed items to Fiji to help underprivileged communities to have a brighter future. Through this charity, CGGS will donate uniform items that cannot be sold in our Second-Hand Uniform Shop to support impoverished communities in Fiji, giving our school uniforms a second life.
Our donations will assist the Katalyst Foundation in its mission to empower underprivileged communities and create brighter futures. By working together, we can empower these communities and responsibly recycle our uniforms.
We had a dedicated group of volunteers to assist in sorting through uniform items to send to Fiji. If the items were stained or damaged, they would be sent to UPPAREL, a company that would shred them and turn them into new material. All our old uniforms are being upcycled.
Tara Rastogi, 2023 School Vice-Captain, recently visited the Year 12 cohort to offer advice on preparing for their upcoming VCE exams and embracing university life.

Tara, who is currently studying Commerce at the University of Melbourne, also shared some fantastic advice and tips on university life, including engaging with campus life, accessing academic resources, joining study groups, and getting involved in university social groups.
We are grateful to Tara for her time and invaluable tips and advice for the Class of 2024.
