Sarah Hunter, Managing Director of Officeworks, shared, “At Officeworks, we believe every student deserves the chance to learn, grow, and chase their dreams, and thanks to the generosity of our customers, we’re helping make that a reality. I’m incredibly proud of our partnership with The Smith Family and deeply thankful to our customers and team members for their contributions to this year’s Appeal. Their kindness in supporting others is a powerful reminder of the positive impact we can achieve together.”
The funds raised through Officeworks in store and online donations, empowered families to afford essential school supplies and have provided students with personal support and access to additional educational initiatives, keeping them motivated and connected to their learning journey.
