The students, this week, donated care packages, containing toiletries and heartfelt messages, to Safe Shelter Shoalhaven - a facility for homeless people.

Messages like "I hope you have a nice day" or "we hope you will like the care packages" means homeless people know they are not forgotten.

The group of year five and six students went down to the Safe Shelter Shoalhaven this week to deliver the care packages and messages from the heart.

The male and female care packages contain toiletries which will no doubt be gratefully received.

Raising money and donating the care packages to the Nowra based shelter was driven by the students.

The students also got to tour and learn all about the shelter.

Their teachers Jaime Davis and Stephanie Palmer are in awe of their students.

"The students were doing a unit of work on kindness and learning how we can be kind to others. So the students did lots of things like writing speeches on what kindness means to them," Mrs Davis said.

"We then looked at different quotes on kindness and they also decided they wanted to celebrate Harmony Day because it's all about being kind and inclusive."

The students organised a massive Harmony Day event and raised $480.

"They (the students) were really proud of making that money," Mrs Davis said.

Money was raised from a mufti-day which included hair-spraying and various other fun activities.

"The students then had a vote and we talked about how we could be kind to the community," Mrs Davis said.

"We talked about different organisations and 95 per cent of the kids all voted to support this local shelter.

"We then talked about how they want to support the shelter and they all decided they wanted to make these care packs and we took the money and bought all the things."

There is soap, deodorants, tissues, moisturises, sanctuary products, socks, toothbrushes and much more in the packages.

"The efforts from the students made us feel really proud," Miss Palmer said.

"The children were so excited and engaged about this learning unit.

"We want them to be engaged in their learning and we want them to do real world/real life types of learning and hopefully this will stick with them for life."

Mrs Davis added the students took ownership of the project.

"This is why they are all excited and it's all come to life for them." Mrs Davis said.

The teachers have not ruled out doing something similar each year.

Pastor Peter Dover from Safe Shelter said he appreciated the students' efforts.

Pastor Dover said since the shelter was open in July 2018 it was rare the facility was not full.

"We need another venue," Pastor Dover said.

Safe Shelter is always looking for more volunteers.

They have two shifts each night - 4pm-10pm and 10pm-9am.
