We’re sending out a special thanks to Scotch Oakburn Student Max who came to compete in this month’s St.Giles Burn bringing along $154 he fundraised as part of a class project!
Max collected sticks from the family property, bagging them up and sell as kindling, and chose to donate to St.Giles as we’ve supported his brother Archie who has Down syndrome.
Thank you to Max, your friends and family for making a difference!

Happy World Occupational Therapy day and the start of OT week!
Hear from our clinical lead Joanna:

"I am grateful to have the opportunity to lead such a committed and talented team of occupational therapists here at St Giles!
Personally, I'd like to acknowledge the amazing work our wonderful OT’s do every day and the support they provide not only to the children and families whom they support, but also to the greater allied health team and to students undertaking placement with us.
Thank you for your dedication and the care you bring to those around you! I appreciate each and every one of you and St.Giles is a greater organisation with your presence."

$24,294.06 !!! 👏👏👏
What a super effort from Woolworths Tasmanian teams and shoppers to raise the much needed funds for St.Giles during the October Small Change Appeal.
The wonderful Prospect Vale store brought in 20% of the state's total donations 🤯, with Kingston's Channel Court, Wynyard, and Huonville all closely battling it out for the podium spots.
