Mini Vinnies Winter Appeal 

Our wonderful Mini Vinnies group organised a PJ day for our Winter Appeal.

Students were encouraged to wear their pyjamas to school on Wednesday 3rd July and bring a winter item to donate to those in need (eg new clothing, new blankets, non-perishable foods etc). 

In the lead up to this event, classes were collecting tin can's to participate in a class 'TIN CAN PYRAMID' event. Which class built the tallest tower of tin cans??  

                              All canned items were donated to St Vincent De Paul. 

Parish Masses at OLA Chapel - Friday at 9:15 am  

Thank you Father Paul Anthony and Father Damien for celebrating Parish Masses with our students this term.
