Please tell your students that they have done a lovely job with their Photostory and I’m sure the students in Victoria will been grateful for the support.

Even though I am based on the other side of Australia watching their Photostory made me feeling emotional. It has been incredible watching all the support coming in from around the World.

PS I think I may be able to embed your video so that it works inside the post – would you like me to try doing it for you so people can watch it here?

Hello,

I really enjoyed your story. I am from Victoria in Australia and many of my friends and family have been affected by it. It is lovely to see a class of students who are not directly involved, so caring and kind.
Well done!
Jenny

We are free of fires here on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, but I was so touched you have taken the time to prepare drawings and messages of support.

Thank you from all Australians.

What a fantastic photostory! I loved the comments from the students, especially those about the pets and animals as well.

Even though I live in Tasmania, south of Victoria, it is so great to see comments from students all round the world about the bushfires.
