Caritas - Just Leadership Day

On Tuesday 26th November, St. Mary's will host the Caritas - Just Leadership Day for groups of Grade Five children from Goulburn Valley Schools.  This program has been running in Sandhurst since 2003 as part of the overall Social Justice plan in cooperation with Catholic Education Sandhurst.
