YUILLE Park Community College and Wellbeing Wendouree have helped make a hospital stay a little more enjoyable for sick children.
They have donated a toy box to the paediatric and adolescent ward at Ballarat Health Services Base Hospital.
"We wanted to do this because we care for sick kids," Bradley Gibson said.
The 11-year-old is one of many pupils who take part in the Yuille Park Community College and Wellbeing Wendouree Kids Club, which aims to teach socialisation and living skills.
The club runs twice a week for Grade 1 to Grade 6 pupils. It also holds school holiday programs and camps for children outside of school hours.
Wellbeing Wendouree children's programs co-ordinator and Yuille Park Community College counsellor Marianne Collins said the toy box was a couple of months in the making.
She said the pupils put the woodwork skills they had learnt in the classroom to good use, assembling the toy box themselves from a kit.
"They've done a good job," Ballarat Health spokesman Luke Mullane said.
