Christmas Hamper Appeal

Our annual Christmas Hamper Appeal has begun! We invite all students and families to donate non perishable food items 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.  Please send in all food items before Friday 11th of December.

 

Please be aware that food items need to be sealed and packaged. We cannot accept toys or unpackaged goods due to COVID-19 restrictions.

 

 Thank you for your support.

 

2nd Sunday in Advent

This Sunday is the second Sunday of Advent. We light the second purple candle, typically called the "Bethlehem Candle." This candle symbolises faith; reminding us of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. 

 

The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated on Tuesday 8th of December. This feast reminds us that Mary was conceived without sin. The Mother of Jesus, full of grace and purity.
