Bowen State High School Stepping into a Kinder World

Individuals continued to walk for a kinder world this week, and one such group of individuals who also did their bit to spread kindness was Bowen State High School.
On 13th November, Bowen State High School had the opportunity to show gratitude and kindness on World Kindness Day, through a walk for kindness event which included sausage sizzles, crafts and an important meeting with Mel and Megan about next year's B Kinder initiative.
Mel Turner, director and treasurer took to Facebook to thank Bowen State High School for a “wonderful day,”:
“Thank you, Bowen State High School, for walking for a kinder world today. We appreciate you being involved in our kindness initiatives. It looked like a fantastic inclusive school event.”
Billie was an extraordinary young girl from the Whitsundays, whose life was tragically cut short in a horse-riding accident.
Billie had a remarkable gift for giving—through her warm smile, thoughtfulness, acts of kindness, and her inspiring words. The Be Kinder Foundation was created in her memory to carry on her legacy, organising events to spread kindness and make the world a better place, just as Billie did.
