STUDENTS OF THE WEEK - CATHOLIC VALUE AWARD 

This week our Saint Hero is St Philip Neri who displayed the value of Optimism. Next week there will be no students of the week due to the two day cycle. Term 1, 2025 our Saint Hero will be St Monica who displays the value of Patience. We encourage you to discuss each Saint and their value with your child/ren, helping them to learn how they can live out our Christian values. 

ST VINNIES CHRISTMAS HAMPER DRIVE

Thank you to all who contributed to the Christmas Hamper Drive. Helen and Jim Austin collect the items on Wednesday and several White Hills families who are struggling will benefit from your kindness this Christmas.

There are no Friday School Parish Masses continue to celebrate the Advent Season. The children will participate in their final Whole School Liturgy as part of Assembly this week on Friday afternoon. Families are encouraged to join us and celebrate during this time of waiting for Jesus in our liturgical calendar. This week we light the pink candle; the third week of advent focuses on joy. What joy have you felt in your life this advent season?
