School Shoes

Riverview QLD 4303

Our students' families struggle to keep up with growing feet and provide safe shoes for their children to wear to school. We provide shoes for our students all through the year as they need them. We have run out of our supplies of shoes and are being forced to turn families and students away who are requesting shoes. We have students whose shoes are coming apart who are requesting new shoes and we are unable to help them. We are looking for sneakers or joggers for our students to wear at school to keep them safe, warm and active. These would need to be in a range of sizes from children's size 4 to junior size 7.

The suburb of Riverview is home to approximately 3,067 residents and remains one of the most socio-economically disadvantaged areas in the region. The local state primary school has an Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) score of 855. This is well below the national average of 1000, indicating that students at the school generally come from backgrounds with lower levels of educational advantage. The median weekly household income is $1,097, which is significantly lower than the Queensland average. Approximately 10.6% of the population identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, more than double the state average of 4.6%. Educational attainment levels are also lower in Riverview. The suburb faces several challenges, including economic disadvantage, lower educational attainment, and a higher proportion of single-parent households and generational poverty.
