Free Hat Friday for George Donald

Last Friday we held a Free Hat Friday for George Donald in Year 3, who is receiving medical treatment in Sydney. We raised over $800 to help the Donalds with some of the expenses associated with being so far from home. It was great to have George attend the Primary assembly and see his good friend, Lincoln Bailey cut his hair for the cause. Well done Lincoln!

There will be further opportunities for students to contribute to fundraising for George. Keep an eye on Compass and Facebook for the next events.

May: The month of the Blessed Virgin Mary

May is the Month of Mary. For centuries, the Catholic Church has set aside the entire month of May to honor Mary, Mother of God. During this month, students will be using the prayers to Mary in their daily prayers. Kindergarten are learning the Hail Mary. Please consider praying these prayers during the month of May. 

School Mass

K-4 and Year 5-10 Masses are regularly held throughout each term. Masses are held in the church on Fridays at 9:10am. Please check the parent calendar to check when you child's class is hosting and come along if you can. Everyone is welcome to attend. McAuley PAC (Year 5-10 Mass) will be held next Friday 17th May.
