Have you heard the proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child?"

On Saturday, 24th of March, the Cleveland District State High School Chaplaincy will be holding their Annual Garage Sale. Believe me, this has become one of those events that locals look forward to each and every Autumn, with bargains galore on offer. Items available for purchase will include books, plants, furniture and kitchenware, as well as baked goods.

The sale will be held at the Cleveland Community Hall, next door to Cleveland State High School, in Smith Street, Cleveland, commencing at 7am and closing at 12 noon.



Entry is FREE.

Funds raised from this Garage Sale will go towards the High School Chaplaincy to aid students requiring assistance.

Sometimes students just need a quiet place or someone to talk with from outside their friend and family circle to help them tackle the issues that confront them. The Chaplains at Cleveland High School have been quietly providing guidance to our children very successfully for many years.

How do I know this to be true? My own children attended this school and it played an integral part of their transition to independent and resilient young women attaining their goals.

Some funds will also be directed to the High School's sister school in Vanuatu.

Vanuatu, that beautiful little country in the South Pacific, fringed by coconut palms and golden sands, is less than three hours flight from Brisbane. In 2015, Vanuatu was named on the bottom of the list of South Pacific countries for Literacy and Numeracy. Over the past few years, The Library Project, which includes the efforts of Cleveland High students and other organisations and communities within the Redlands, have established libraries in ten remote villages where children previously had no access to resources. Go here for further information. The Library Project states that "the journey of a lifetime starts with the turning of a page".

Come along to the Garage Sale and remember to bring your money with you.



This truly is guilt-free shopping at its best.
