Principal Grant Fielder said the school's 12 students sang carols at Horsham's Christian Emergency Food Centre on Wednesday.
"They wanted to ensure people who were homeless or poor could enjoy Christmas as well," he said.
"So they decided they would visit the centre and sing carols to whoever was there.
"They did some busking in Horsham to raise money for the centre.
"The students also made Christmas cards for people who were visiting the centre."
Mr Fielder said the performance was the students' idea.
"It's something we haven't done before but I think we will do it again," he said.
"The centre staff were very appreciative and watched the performance, encouraging the children along.
"They also gave the students lots of thanks and applause."
Mr Fielder said the students raised $90 for the centre.
"We handed all the money we made busking straight over to them," he said.
Centre client assessment manager Bev Miatke said everyone at the centre thought the students' gesture was wonderful.
"It was a busy day but it was great they wanted to come along and we really appreciated it," she said.
"There were a few clients in the centre at the time and they lapped it up."
