St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal

This term, all students will take part in fundraising efforts for St Vincent de Paul, embracing our Lasallian commitment to compassion and justice. Each pastoral class has chosen a unique activity designed to build community spirit while supporting those most in need.

As a Lasallian school, we are called to be Concerned for the Poor and to live out our values through meaningful social justice initiatives. These student-led efforts reflect our shared mission to serve with empathy, dignity, and hope. Below is a list of the activities for the term. 

Yr 12 Retreat 2025

The 2025 College Retreat Program will be held at Attunga Camp at Canyonleigh during Week 6. 

Students have been thoughtfully allocated into two groups by Mrs Aurelius, with individual needs and prior commitments carefully considered when scheduling the retreat days. This is a valuable opportunity and regarded as one of the significant experiences for students during their time at the College. Parents and students are reminded that participation in the Retreat program is a stated and agreed expectation upon enrolment. 

The retreat will be facilitated by College staff and will include a range of experiences designed to challenge the way students think and act. We have engaged keynote speakers for the retreat, as well as presenters who will lead a series of workshops that students will rotate through over the course of the program. Students will also have time for reflection, preparation, and participation in a variety of prayer experiences.

Fiji Appeal

Flyer designed by: Ava Perchtold, Year 8

As Christmas approaches, families are invited to clean out their wardrobes and contribute to a meaningful cause. Fr Brian Raynor continues his dedicated support of communities in Fiji, and we are collecting second-hand items to assist those in need.

Donations may include:

• Clothing for babies, children, and adults
• Clean shoes, towels, and bedding
• Toys, books, and socks

Please bring items to the College office or to your pastoral class. The Mission Action Team will be collecting donations until 11 November. Your generosity will help bring comfort and dignity to others this season. All contributions are deeply appreciated.
