Kids on the coast

Local children’s charity Sunnykids’ program ‘Supporting Children in Primary Schools’ (SCIPS) helps students experiencing social and emotional barriers to their education. SCIPS connects families with relevant community resources and professional advice. The initial trial in Maroochydore State School attracted local and national attention, and won $100,000 through the inaugural School’s First Awards which, along with donations, has enabled SCIPS to roll out its program to nine other schools on the Sunshine Coast.
