Joyful Donation Sets Students Up

Clare State School Students have been surprised with the joy of comprehensive stationary packs, donated to the school by the Joyful Foundation.

Having met out and about during the school holidays, School Principal Troy Patti welcomed the donation from the Joyful Foundation.

Established over 10 years ago, the Joyful Foundation continues the legacy of their namesake Joylene Donnellan, a teacher and guidance officer who assisted disadvantaged children achieve a better education, by providing school supplies, uniforms, and other school essentials.

The Joyful Foundation gifted Clare State School half a dozen stationary packs, to ensure students are ready for the new school year.

“Anytime that someone is looking to help, we take it,” explained Troy.

“Our school’s P&C provide stationary to all our students, and having these packs donated to us takes the pressure off the P&C and allows us to better equip the school with other improvements for the students.

“We thank the Joyful Foundation for their generosity and look forward to working with them closely for more projects in the future.”
