Community shines at ABBOX of Fun Holiday Camp

“I felt it's been so lifechanging,” said Ryan (Year 12). “I've had such a good experience helping out here at ABBOX. Along with my team, I feel we were not just creating really good bonds with my camper but also creating that genuine bond with the other carers as well. I feel like we've also grown, friendship-wise. We've been able to see what the parents of the children at ABBOX do on a daily basis, and I think that insight is valuable.”

“The last few days at ABBOX have been quite amazing,” said Adam (Year 12). “To learn how the child I was caring for experiences everything, and learning how to take care of him, was an awesome feeling. At first, it’s quite tough. It’s about having a lot of patience. Eventually, you’ll build this amazing connection with the kids. It’s so fulfilling.”

For many students, ABBOX becomes a transformative experience – one that shapes their character, strengthens their compassion, and stays with them long after they leave school.
