From the Wellbeing Deputy

Volunteers Breakfast

We would like to acknowledge all the volunteers who have helped support our St Paul Community. From Class Carers, to sport coaches, reading, excursions, camps, swimming, Sports Day and everything in between, we know these events would not be possible without the incredible help and support of volunteers. To show our gratitude, we would like to extend an invitation to all our wonderful volunteers who have helped throughout the year at St Paul. Our Volunteers Breakfast will be Friday 6 December (Week 8) in the Hall before school from 8:30-9am followed by our General Presentation Assembly. Please see the invitation attached for RSVP information.

Lutheran Care Christmas Donations

Thank you to our whole community for all your incredible donations this morning. Our local community will be gifted these donations that will certainly make Christmas brighter. Thank you for sharing the spirit of Christmas, through kindness and generosity. If you wish to still donate, our collection boxes will be here at school until next week.
