“Baabayn is an Aboriginal Corporation in the Blacktown area that works with the Aboriginal community. Specifically, they work with young adults who come from difficult backgrounds such as poor education, domestic violence and homelessness. Baabayn provides many young Indigenous Australians with support and links to services that help inspire them to find a sense of achievement and pride in their future.”
As an annual tradition at the College, MSCW has collected Christmas presents for the children of the Baabayn community. We will be supporting the community again in this way in 2022. Any donations are deeply appreciated.

The Christmas season is near, and it is a joyful time for many. Yet as we know, it can be a challenging time for less fortunate people. The 2022 Christmas Appeal is aimed at those impacted by the rising costs of living – those who are already struggling to make ends meet.
The MSCW community directly supports those facing poverty and homelessness in our local community. Donated items will go to the St Vincent’s office at Rozelle, where it will be dispersed to those in need in the neighbouring suburbs. Your support of the Vinnies Christmas Appeal this year means we can help individuals and families who are struggling with living costs to experience a bit more joy, dignity and hope.
