Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal
Welcome back to Term 3! As we embrace the winter season, our school community is coming together to support those in need through two meaningful initiatives led by our Faith and Mission Leaders.
Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal: Toiletries Drive

individuals in our local community who are facing hardships. Items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and deodorant are greatly appreciated. Your generous donations will be distributed to those in need through the St Vincent de Paul Society, providing comfort and support during the colder months.

PJ Day Fundraiser: Gift a Night Off the Streets
Next week, Friday 1st August, we're hosting a special PJ Day! Students are encouraged to wear their favourite pyjamas with their school shoes or runners to school and bring a gold coin donation. All funds raised will support the "Gift a Night Off the Streets" campaign by the St Vincent de Paul Society.
This initiative aims to provide safe accommodation, warm meals, and essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness during winter .
Together, we can make a significant impact and show compassion to those in our community who need it most. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Confirmation Family Faith Night - Save the Date
We invite you to join us for a special Sacramental Family Faith Night.

This evening is designed to provide a space for reflection, prayer, and deeper understanding of the significance of Confirmation in your child's faith journey.
Families of Year 6 students are all welcome to join us on this evening.
Presentation Masses
Sacraments are celebrations for the whole Catholic community to celebrate together, this is reflected at the Parish of Epping, Epping North and Wollert, as the parish prepares and celebrates the Sacraments as a community.
In preparation for receiving a sacrament, families are asked to attend Mass. At this Mass your child will be acknowledged and the parishioners will be asked to pray for them as they take this next step in the faith journey.
Masses for our Sacramental candidates begin on Saturday 28th June. Your child is encouraged to attend at least two of the following Parish Masses.
