Junior Joeys Bake Sale

This term Junior Joeys is raising money for Catholic Mission Month. Funds raised by the Catholic Mission support local churches and communities through programs, the training and formation of priests, care for children, and promoting people for mission.

In our meetings, we have been working through the “See, Think, Do” model”. So far, we have completed the ‘see’ component in learning about Catholic Mission Month.

We brainstormed ideas for fundraisers this term, and have decided to hold a Bake Sale on Thursday, 7 September, during Recess. Items are $1 each.

We would greatly appreciate it if families could donate something for the sale. Items must be nut-free.

Thank you for your support!

PACER

Students from our school have recently undertaken an education tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia's history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion, the Australian Government is contributing funding of $135 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon the completion of the excursion.
