EVPS Attendance Matters
“Where do they get all of this from? It’s incredible that we have so many cool things to choose from!” – EVPS student
“I got a brand new pair of Nikes! I can’t wait to wear them to school tomorrow!” – EVPS prize winner
“Awesome! We’ll be building the Lego on the weekend” – EVPS parent picking up their child at the end of the day.
Learning through Lego!
As a teacher, seeing our students engage with LEGO during lessons has been truly inspiring. It provides a hands-on, playful way for children to develop their creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. LEGO turns learning into an adventure, making abstract concepts tangible and fun. We’re grateful for this resource, as it enriches our teaching and helps students build confidence through play.
A little bit of LEGO magic
A while back we received a shipment of LEGO sets from Good360, and I wish you could have seen the kids’ faces when we unpacked them.
For many of the families in our community, buying toys—especially something like LEGO—is just not possible right now. So when the children realised these sets were *for them*, the excitement was incredible. Kids who usually hang back were suddenly sitting on the floor together, opening boxes, sorting pieces, and proudly showing off the things they built.
One mum told us, “I’ve never seen my son so focused and happy. He hasn’t put it down since he got it.” Another parent said it was the first brand-new toy their child had ever owned.
The LEGO didn’t just give the kids something fun to do. It gave them confidence, creativity, and a sense of being cared for. It brought families together and brought a lot of joy into homes that really needed it.
A huge thank you to Good360 for making this possible. Your support made a real difference—more than you probably realise—and we’re so grateful.

Grateful Hearts: Generosity that is Inspiring our Student Attendance Success
The impact is clear in the smiling faces and the steady rise in attendance records at our school
Its really lovely to hear all the good manners and sincere appreciation from shy students when they receive these special rewards.
We get so many comments from students and beaming smiles of pride and excitement.
One student benefiting from the donations, ran up to me saying, “I love coming to school now to get 100% attendance so I can get to build my new LEGO with my friends.

Small trial, big impact!
“When we handed out the Nike clothing discreetly, you could see the relief on parents’ faces,” said Sarah* from our community team. “One mum told us it was the first time her son had ever owned brand-new branded shoes. Even though this was only a small trial, the impact was huge. Families felt supported, respected, and not alone.”
perfect fit
Crystal* said we are very great full for this donation, many of our families are struggling to afford a pair of shoes for their kids to go to school in at the best of times, so been able to receive these beautiful Nike shoes is just amazing. Many of these families can’t afford xmas presents so some of these shoes will be such a surprise for many older girls who may not have received any presents.
3 month feast for over 50 cats in need
We want to express our deepest gratitude to Good360 and their incredibly generous sponsor, Purina, for their, substantial donation of kitten food.
This food donation has had a profound impact on our rescue efforts. It provided nutritious meals for many of our cats for several months, which is a significant saving for our organization. Crucially, this allowed us to re-route funds that would have been spent on food toward other critical areas, such as emergency surgeries and unexpected medical bills for our most vulnerable rescues.
Thank you for helping us save more lives!
Comfy beds for our furry rescues
We are incredibly grateful to Good360 and their sponsor for donating these pet beds to our rescue. These beds quickly became a favorite at our head office! We customized them with covers, and seeing our rescue kitties sleeping soundly in them, even today, is the best reward. Thank you for providing comfort that lasts.
Fun toys for the rescues
A massive shout-out and thank you to @Good360 and their generous sponsor! 🧸🐾 The donation of toys and cozy bedding has been an absolute treat for the animals in our care. Our rescue cats and dogs are happily enjoying them all, bringing so much joy and comfort to their days. Your support makes a big difference!
Fitness and inclusion on the basketball court
Matthew* said “I feel like these new shoes made my basketball game 100% better! My old shoes were so worn out I worried about falling down all the time! Now I can concentrate on the game and my team! I bet they will help me get to the ring quicker to!”
Stan gets on the move
Stan* said – “The doctor said I had to be more active as I am facing some health issues if I don’t get my health under control but my feet were killing me in my old shoes. These will give me the support I need to get moving and hopefully get these health issues under control and get them moving to!”
