Mini Vinnies are collecting winter gear to donate to people in need.
We are looking for winter accessories such as beanies, scarves, and gloves.
If you have any old or unused cosy accessories at home please donate them to our collection by dropping them into the boxes in classrooms (boxes will be available from Week 5).
Please have all donations in by FRIDAY WEEK 8.
Thank you for your support!

Pentecost
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is called the birthday of the church because, before Pentecost, there really was no church.
Jesus had ascended back into the heavens, the Apostles were hanging around, scared and confused, and nobody knew what to do. Going out to baptise people and preach about Jesus was the last thing they had in mind because their lives would be in danger.
But Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit – the force that turned a bunch of frightened, mixed-up people into the church. There was a rush of wind, tongues of fire, and then suddenly there was courage, knowledge, direction, and commitment! Everyone started speaking and was understood, no matter what the language of the listener was! These were saints suddenly on fire with the Holy Spirit. And it all began with the wind and fire of the Spirit.
To celebrate Pentecost, students participated in classroom activities and we held a whole school mass this afternoon.
