Winter Warmer Fundraiser – A Toasty Success!
A huge thank you to our amazing staff, students and families for making our Winter Warmer Fundraiser for St Vincent de Paul such a heartwarming event! From wearing and donating cozy scarves and beanies to warm socks and delicious soup for lunch, everyone got into the winter spirit (even though it was a warm and sunny day).
Special thanks to Jacinta and our fabulous tuckshop helpers for preparing the comforting lunch. Your generosity will help bring warmth to those in need this winter.
Preps 100 Days Brighter Celebration
This Friday 8 August our preps will be celebrating 100 days of school with their ‘100 days Brighter’ celebration. Students in grade prep will be wearing bright clothing to celebrate this milestone.
Pupil Free Day
Please note that Wednesday 13th of August is a Pupil Free Day. The focus of the day is Spirituality. The day focuses on the theme Pilgrims of Hope and will be presented online to all staff from Catholic Education Sandhurst. We are delighted to host our friends from St Peter's and Doxa. YMCA OSHC are offering full day care at St Therese's school (Please see their page for details).

Principal’s Awards
Austin Lebner Prep AC nominated by Paige Donald (6RM)
Austin was nominated by Paige, who noticed his consistent kindness and responsibility. He always packs up the balls after playing, picks up any rubbish he sees, and makes a thoughtful effort to check in on classmates who might be feeling lonely or left out.
Austin, your actions truly show what it means to care for others and our school, well done!
