SCEGGS Monday Food Delivery Term 3

The Term 3 dates for our Monday Food Delivery can be found in the SignUp App here for those that are interested. There are a few spots still available and I would love to make sure that each week we can continue to provide nutritious and delicious meals to those that are doing it tough in our city. Every week I am meeting more and more people that have never had to ask for food before but because of the difficult circumstances with employment, rents and the rising cost of living, lots more people are seeking out welfare services just to have something to eat.  If you are not sure what this is or haven’t been involved before, go onto the App and you will find all you need there. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime. Thanks again to everyone within our community for your continued generosity. I can assure you that every meal is very well appreciated. 

The SCEGGS Podcast “Walk The Mile” Episode 67: A Young Doctor For Young People with Ellie Cook

I have great admiration for those people that work in the medical field. We hear a lot about the difficulties that some of these professionals have to face and wonder how such an important resource can continue to sustain itself. We also observe the tragic conditions that those in places around the world that are in the midst of war or natural disaster and acknowledge the incredible stress and pressure that these people work under. This conversation is with one of our ex-students, Ellie Cook, who works in the area of pediatric oncology. Ellie talks about what drives her, what had led her into this work and the challenges that she faces. It is an area that I had no idea about but found our conversation enlightening and encouraging. I hope you do too!

And a reminder that we are published on Spotify, Apple, Google Podcast and Deezer, so you can access it easier from your preferred device. I always welcome your feedback or any ideas you may have for further episodes. You will find each podcast as they are produced in this newsletter and on the other platforms as well as our website.
