“Happiness By Helping” in Action

Happiness by helping

Children at Emu Heights Public School were recently challenged to put their school motto “Happiness by Helping” into action by doing jobs at home to raise money for the victims of Queensland’s devastating floods.
Gardens were weeded, bathrooms cleaned, dishes washed, groceries packed away, younger brothers and sisters looked after and countless other jobs completed as the children relished the opportunity to help. An interesting trend was the number of children who earned their money giving their parents foot and neck massages!
Together with funds from a school mufti day the children raised a total of $1526.50 Equally successful projects in recent years to support earthquake ravaged Haiti and communities affected by the Victorian Bushfires, help children understand their school motto is something they can truly live out.
