Year 1 & Year 4 Family Mass - THANK YOU!
Thank you to all of our students and their families who were able to attend our Year 1 and Year 4 Family Mass last Sunday. It is always wonderful to see you there.
St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal
The launch of our annual St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal will begin next week, on Monday 11th November. We ask all students and families to donate non-perishable food items or new condition toys that can be put into a Christmas hamper to help those families who are struggling. Donations can be made to the class teachers or at either school Office.
Remembrance Day
Next Monday we will pause and remember when the guns on the Western Front fell silent, after more than four years of continuous warfare. St Edward’s children will remember the day World War I ended, at 11.00am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918.
The students will participate in a Prayer Service (at each campus) before observing a minute's silence, praying for everyone involved in this conflict, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Our School Captains and Vice Captains will attend the Remembrance Day Service at the Tamworth Town Hall on Monday 11th November with Mr van Aanholt.
LidKids
Thank you to all of the people who have sent in lids for our Mini Vinnies project. Your response has been amazing!
To date we have 3,592 lids!!!!!!
We smashed our goal for Term 3 and now we are looking to collect 5,000 by the end of Term 4!
WE CAN DO IT!!!
LidKids is a project helping children who have been born without a hand, or lost a hand to illness or injury. Made out of plastic bottle lids, with a 3D printer, all of the plastic bottle lids combined are melted together to form a prosthetic hand. The lids that are suitable are the lids that say a 2 or a 4 on the bottom of the cap.
Please send in clean lids from milk, juice and soft drink bottles. We can make a difference!
