The Sweetheart Foundation is an initiative which has seen a total number of 294 wheelchairs donated and more than 260,000kg of plastic bottle tops recycled since 2013.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted “ Aesop

To date, through the amazing acts of kindness and the community spirit of all the girls and their families at St Mary’s, we have collected a staggering number of bottle tops and bread tags and donated four wheelchairs to people in need, and, of course, contributed to saving the planet. This is a phenomenal feat but we would love you to continue to help us to collect many more!

ONE MAN’S JUNK IS ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE.

450kg tops = one standard adult wheelchair

50kg tags = one standard adult wheelchair

We can all make a huge difference in someone’s life simply by keeping our bottle tops or bread tags and handing them into the teachers. Thereafter, the tops and tags will be collected, recycled and exchanged for a wheelchair for someone less fortunate in the community.

Please remember to keep collecting bottle tops and bread tags and hand them into the Junior School reception and Ella Sproule in Grade 3 will take them home to sort.
