Advent Family Activity

This year for our Family Advent Activity we would like to gather toiletries/personal hygiene items which will be distributed by our local St Vincent de Paul Society. If you are able to buy a small item each time you undertake your family shopping, that would be appreciated. You might like to purchase with the idea that your family box will be for a man or a woman, a teenage girl or boy, or a younger child. The date of this activity is Friday 8th December, and when we all come together we ask that each family brings a shoe box and their purchased items. We will cover the shoe boxes and lids with Christmas wrapping paper. If anyone is able to purchase a few extra items, these can be left in the box in the front foyer. 

Socktober for Mission Month - Catholic Mission

Focus on Timor-Leste

We have committed to participating in Socktober for Mission Month this year. This will involve students engaging in learning about Catholic Social Teaching and participating in a Crazy Sock Day on Friday 27th October. Students can wear their sports uniforms with crazy socks. On the day students are asked to bring in a coin donation. They can also bring in coins before this day. Classes will set out a coin line. The senior students will compete in a Soccer Shootout. SRC members will help by advertising, collecting coins and marshalling their class on the day.

End-of-Year Thanksgiving Mass and Year 6 Graduation Ceremony

Our End-of-Year Thanksgiving Mass will take place on Tuesday 12th December @ 6:00pm in St Patrick’s Cathedral. All families and friends are invited to take part in this celebration of the school year. Following this all are invited to move into the St Patrick’s Cathedral large Hall to partake in the Graduation Ceremony of our current Year 6 Cohort. We also bid farewell to any families who will be leaving our school, whether their youngest child is transitioning to secondary school next year, or the family is moving.

Lastly, all are invited to share a cuppa in the Glowrey/MacKillop rooms. Traditionally, the parents of our Year 5 families coordinate to provide a plate and serve supper afterwards.
