Christmas Hampers 

It's that time of year again, when we prepare for the liturgical season of Advent and for the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

It is also a time when we reflect upon the all the things we need to do leading up to Christmas. It is easy to get 'caught up' in the busyness of this season as can often be seen with the early arrival of Christmas decorations and commercialisation in our shopping centres or even our neighbourhoods.

At St Therese's we take the time to dialogue with staff and our students about the importance of waiting and consideration of others during Advent. We discuss Christmas and the lead up to this special event, along with many others that may be celebrated during this time of the year. 

Our school community has always been one of giving so that others may enjoy in the celebration of Christmas. It is a challenging time for many in our community: bearing this in mind we invite those families who are able to assist to donate non-perishable food items or gifts so that we may give to our St Vincent de Paul Society, brightening the lives of those who may otherwise go without this Christmas.

Our Mini Vinnies will be leading this initiative with a letter being shared with families about our Christmas Hamper Appeal in the upcoming weeks.

We hope you can assist and thank you in advance for your generosity.

Stay courageous.
