Two groups of Stratford’s youth are on the job on the first day of the holidays. The little ones are from St Joseph’s school and are helping spread bark on the school’s playgrounds.
The older students are the Catholic youth group going off to Sydney for World Youth Day and are helping on site at the homes being built for Habitat for Humanity. Both groups are very enthusiastically throwing their all into their jobs and are giving back to the Stratford community in their own way. What a great way to start the holidays!
