COIN & CAN CASUAL CLOTHES DAY
We will be having a CASUAL CLOTHES DAY to support the St Vinnies 2025 Winter Appeal. Students may wear Casual Clothes Day TUESDAY 24TH JUNE. Students are asked to come to school with a Gold Coin and a non-perishable grocery item, which we can then give to our local Vinnies chapter. The requirements for items being donated are that they are non-perishable and long lasting such as canned foods and pasta or rice. Other donation options include toiletries, such as hand cream, sanitiser, toilet paper, shampoos and conditioner. Bringing in these items will help many families to be warm and to have food during winter. All donated items will be passed onto our local St Vinnies chapter. Check out the image below for some donation ideas:
FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART MASS
Our final school Mass for the term on Wednesday 25th June, will be dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At this Mass we offer assistance to the poor by donating non perishable grocery items. These will be brought forward with the offertory procession and will then be handed on to the St Vincent De Paul Society who will distribute the goods to needy local families.
SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION INFORMATION
The celebration of our 2025 Sacrament of Confirmation will take place during Term 3. To help parents prepare their children for this important Sacrament we will be holding a Family Night on Thursday 31st July @ 7:00pm in the St John’s Hall. At this meeting Fr Albert will chat with families about the importance of the Sacrament your child is preparing to receive.
It is expected that all Confirmation Candidates attend this meeting with a parent. During the meeting we will be discussing church requirements such as who is eligible to be a Confirmation Sponsor, the significance of the saint’s name your child chooses to take in Confirmation and the dress code for the celebration.
