From gift cards and food, to presents for kids at the House, the donation covered all bases, leading manager Rhiannon Curtis to label the effort "bloody incredible".

"It was unbelievable, we expected to get some stuff but not heaps and heaps of stuff and they showed up with a whole ute load," she said.

The donation had actually been in the pipeline for quite some time, with Ms Curtis revealing they had been in discussions about it since term two.

It had been expected to occur then, but the delta strain outbreak hit and put the operation off for a number of months.

She said it seemed the school had used the extra time well, and the items will make a huge impact on families using the House.

The gifts weren't selected at random either, with the school taking note of Ronald McDonald House's wishlist.

"The school got in touch with us after seeing our wishlist Wednesday posts, which we put up on the first Wednesday of every month," she said.

"And that's just little call out for things we're running short of for the families here.

"So we talked about how, rather than their normal fundraising with gold coin donations, they could support us in other ways. So we chatted about the things that we use the most when families are staying with us."

Ms Curtis said donating goods directly is an extremely useful way of doing so anyway.
