GGS School Fund is a charity established to promote and advance the education of the students at our school by helping to fund a variety of extra-curricular activities, clubs and societies. The fund supports students, whose families suffer financial hardship, to participate in a fuller range of trips and activities and also supports our annual prize giving ceremonies. Funds raised at our annual sponsored walk raise funds for long term capital projects at the school, with a further 50% of the money raised going to student-nominated local and national charities. Such charities supported in recent years include Scope, Choices, Khalsa Aid, Porchlight, NHS Cancer Fighting Fund, Make a Wish, KASBAH, MIND and many more.
State-of-the-art facilities, passionate staff, a genuine sense of self-worth and a clear vision based on Gospel values. This is what St Clare’s Primary School in Officer has to offer. As a new school, which opened in 2015, enrolments at St Clare’s are growing rapidly. As part of St Patrick’s Parish in Pakenham, the school is on site with the Parish Early Learning Centre and the Officer campus of St Francis Xavier College. For those in the catchment area, this provides a seamless transition from early childhood to secondary education.
As we oversee fundraising projects and manage the Foundation’s assets, we strive to ensure that your selfless generosity has purpose and impact according to your wishes — and that each and every gift improves the health and well-being of our region.

Drive Forward Foundation is all about finding the dream job for young people from care. We focus on talent and potential rather than on disadvantage. We do personal assessments and provide a comprehensive 4-track training programme covering DRIVE Career, DRIVE Independence, DRIVE Discovery and DRIVE Expression. We also offer mentoring from professionals and try to match a mentee with someone in the field in which they want a career. After the training the young person can be offered work placements opportunities, internships and paid employment. We also provide Employee Training for the businesses so the young person is surrounded by peers who care that they succeed. For more information please visit our website www.driveforwardfoundation.com
