Helping create a simulated world for children with multiple disabilities
The St George Children with Disabilities Fund is a not-for-profit charity formed in 2005. A small charity which relies on volunteers and has no paid employees. The primary sources of income are grants and fundraising and the purpose is to enhance the quality of life of children with severe and physical disabilities, and their families.
In 2020, with the help of the Australian Government’s Stronger Community Programme; the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership; and Bayside and Georges River Councils’ Community Grants programs the St George Children with Disabilities Fund established a new Immersive Room at the St George School, which caters for students K-Y12 with severe and multiple disabilities.
The immersive room provides endless opportunities simply by projecting onto a screen real life scenarios. It’s dynamic, interactive and moving, and can transport the students into another world, or make them part of the story they are reading. The technology creates immersive experiences that teaches the children about life and living which, because of the severity of their disabilities, they cannot experience as others do.
Through the Bayside and Georges River Councils’ Community Grants programs, Kingsgrove RSL Club is a proud long time sponsor of the St George Children with Disabilities Fund. For more information on the centre or time find out how to donate to this worthy cause please contact Club reception on 9336-1500 or directly to the fund Chairman Mr. Garry Morris on 0458 583 220.

We just wanted to extend our thanks on behalf of the St Ursula’s community for your support of the ‘Girl’s night in’ event, it was a massive success and could not have been possible without the support of Kingsgrove RSL. Again, thank you for your generosity!
On Tuesday, 27 April, the St Ursula’s community held our Girls’ Night In to raise awareness and money for women’s cancer research in association with Cancer Council Australia.
It was an amazing night where mums, grandmothers, aunties, daughters, and sisters came together to enjoy music, food, and dancing.
A packed agenda of fun activities
There were many different activities for attendees to enjoy, including a raffle, high tea, lolly bar, hair braiding, bracelet making, plus fun interactive games like ‘knock over the patriarchy’ and lip scrub making.
The night was a major success, with over 300 guests attending and funds raised totalling over $5,500. This could not have been possible without all the support from the Year 12 Senior Student Leadership Team, Ms Sukkar, and parent and student helpers, who all worked tirelessly to organise this fun interactive event for our community.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors who donated to our raffle, sausage sizzle and fundraising page, this night could not have run without their support.
