Final Day of Term 4

Thursday 27 November is the final day of term for students in Years 7 – 10. As such, attendance is expected. We have a wonderful program planned that balances fun House and year- level activities as well as important messages for the holidays. The day will conclude with our Christmas liturgy and final assembly. Students are to wear their College sports uniform to and from school. 

If students would like to go swimming during one of the rotations, they will need to bring swimmers and a towel. To celebrate this occasion, we also invite students to wear Christmas socks and/or accessories. Accessories might include: Santa/elf hats, reindeer antlers headbands, Christmas leis, badges and/or novelty glasses, Christmas themed earrings, bracelets and necklaces, etc. We look forward to seeing everyone showing their festive spirit. 

Volunteers Needed

I would like to extend my gratitude to all students and families who have contributed so generously to our Vinnies Christmas hampers this year. These hampers will be finalised on Wednesday 26 November and presented to representatives of the Saint Vincent de Paul Kedron Conference at our Christmas liturgy on Thursday 27 November.

As with previous years, we do require families to assist with the delivery of these hampers. This will take place on Sunday 14 December from 9.00am. We will meet in the San Damiano Centre, Somerset Road. Each team will deliver hampers to at least two families in Kedron or Stafford. The deliveries usually take about 1 hour. 

It is essential that students are assisted by a parent/carer/other family member with a vehicle (drivers). 

If your family is able to assist, I invite drivers (parents/carers) to complete this form:

Please note: To avoid disappointment and to ensure every team has the chance to deliver at least two hampers, we will limit the number of delivery teams to twenty-five. The volunteer form will be monitored each day and will be closed when we have reached our required number of volunteers.

Collection for Stationery Aid

As we approach the end of the academic year, please remember that we are a collection site for Stationery Aid. This organisation collects donations of new or unused stationery and used stationery in good condition. These donations are packaged up for students whose families struggle to provide the educational resources needed for school. Stationery Aid is seeking donations of the following items:

- all types of pencils

- crayons

- pencil cases

- rulers

- erasers

- sharpeners

- unused exercise books/note pads/scrapbooks

- highlighters

- pens

- glue

- paints and paint brushes

- maths equipment (protractors, compass, etc.)

- staplers and staples

We cannot accept ring binders or lever arch folders.

Donations can be placed in the small blue wheelie bin located on the Ground floor of the Anthony Building (near Reception and the lift). Thank you for your generous support.
