SUPPORTING LITERACY IN PNG YEAR 12 BOOK DRIVE

Four of our Year 12 students—Catherine Bashford, Cecilia Jacobson, Ava Mohrman, and Sarah Mulhall— led a successful CAS project by organising a Book Drive to support Buk Bilong Pikinini, a non-profit dedicated to improving children’s literacy in Papua New Guinea.

The students collected 440 children’s books from the CGS community, which were packaged and delivered to Buk Bilong Pikinini’s warehouse. The books were shipped to PNG to help establish much-needed libraries for young readers.

The team’s commitment to supporting literacy initiatives reflects their passion for educational equity, and they look forward to continuing their efforts with Buk Bilong Pikinini in the future, helping provide children in PNG with access to quality reading material.

Congratulations to Catherine, Cecilia, Ava, and Sarah for their inspiring contribution, and thank you to everyone who supported the Book Drive!
