A group of year nine Cathedral College students lent their support to the Wangaratta Night Shelter over the winter months.

Students dedicated their Wednesday afternoons to baking quiches and cookies for those in need, in an initiative generously supported by the college's parents and friends association.

Their efforts not only provided nourishment, but brought comfort and kindness to members of the community experiencing hardship.

Students who lent their generosity and leadership to the program were Lily Radnor, Imogen English, Isabella Colson, Hugo Rodda, Atticus Thompson, Lizzy Healy, Nelitha Abeykoon, Darcy Murray, Jack Carmichael and Easton Fullwood.

Year nine coordinator Eliza Pascall said she was proud of the positive example the students set for their peers.

"Their actions remind us all that many small actions can make a big difference," she said.
