CATHOLIC MISSIONS: 

Catholic Missions is the Pope's International Mission Agency. Each year we raise funds to assist the work of Catholic Missions. The focus this year is on the people of Timor-Leste who are facing health and wellness challenges. 

As a fun way to raise money we will once again have a Crazy Hair/Crazy Sock Day for the price of a gold coin donation. We will inform you of the date for this day as soon as it is decided. 

The children will also participate in making a Sockball to be used in a Soccer Goal Challenge. 

We are asking for donations of string, wool, material scraps, old T-shirts and plastic bags. If you are able to donate any of these materials, could you please send them into school. Thank you for the donations which have already been sent in. 

HOLY ROSARY: 

October is dedicated each year to the Holy Rosary as the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on 7th October. During this month the students will be learning how to pray the Rosary.
