Kimberley Immersion Collections

We are keen to start collecting donations for our Kimberley Immersion being held from Saturday, 7 September to Friday, 13 September. Items will be donated to the Gawooleng Yawoodeng Aboriginal Corporation Women’s Shelter in Kununurra, handed out at the Community Kitchen and  the Remote Communities Op Shop Program. 

We are currently looking to collect the following items:

• Used children’s summer clothes
• Used baby clothes and brand new hygiene products and disposable nappies
• Used adult summer clothing (particularly ladies)
• Brand new underwear (ladies and children)

St Joseph's School have requested hygiene products for their camp. We are looking for donations of shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes and sanitary pads. These items can be hotel sample size or family sized.

Donations can be dropped off at Student Ministry. Thank you for supporting the Kimberley Immersion.

Shopfront Food Appeal

The Shopfront Bentley is one of the Catholic agencies that we assist throughout the year with donations of food and other essentials. This year, they're finding it difficult to meet the needs of their clients, particularly in the area of food hampers.

They have made an extra special request to schools to reach out to their communities to bring in some donations of non-perishable food items such as pasta, rice, canned food, long life milk, tea and coffee. 

We will be collecting food in Weeks 7 and 8 and during Holy Week for Shopfront. They would really appreciate your donation. 

Donations can be dropped off at Student Ministry or to the College Reception.
