The students handed over $600 worth of stationary, sporting equipment and school supplies to the Maubisse Friendship Group earlier in the week.
The items will be taken to a school in Maubisse.
Over the past three months, students have been raising funds to pay for the supplies - including making and selling handmade goods, catering staff morning tea events and hosting a barbecue.
VCAL teacher Susan Pickles said the students had shown great drive and enthusiasm.
"The students have worked tirelessly on their fundraising," she said.
"They've embraced every challenge with enthusiasm and feel very strongly about supporting other students in a different part of the world."
