Winter Woollies Day
Thank you to everyone for your generous donations on Winter Woollies Day. The Night Patrol Van is certainly well stocked! Students shared their learning about homelessness and human dignity and asked questions about the Night Patrol service. Each class loaded the van with their donations and then Fr Rem lead everyone in a special blessing. The Homeless Bears even joined us in welcoming the van to our school holding signs of hope.
Families who would still like to donate to the Night Patrol might consider purchasing an incredible ‘Backpack Bed’- Backpack with storage that rolls out into an all-weather protected bed. These are an extremely ‘precious’ item that is handed out from the Night Patrol Van to those who are ‘sleeping rough’. For more information about this wonderful product that provides thousands of people with a dignified sleep across Australia please visit:
Community Meals Program
The Community Meals freezer is one way we can assist families who are experiencing hardship. If you are able to cook a meal, please use disposable containers and label with ingredients and date. All meal donations can be brought to the Front Office. If your family requires temporary meal assistance, you can speak in confidence to any of our staff members.
St Benedict’s Feast Day Mass
This Friday 25th June we will be celebrating St Benedict’s Feast Day beginning with a whole school Mass at 10:00am. Students from different classes will be leading the Mass. Families are warmly invited to join us for this liturgical celebration. Parents and guests are invited to stay after Mass for morning tea with their children and staff in the Library.
