Remembrance Day
Tomorrow, we will pause and remember that the guns on the Western Front fell silent, after more than four years of continuous warfare.
St Edward’s children will remember the day World War I ended; at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. The students will participate in a Prayer service (at each campus).
Our School Leaders will attend the Remembrance Day Services on Saturday 11th November at the Tamworth Town Hall and the Memorial Bell Tower with members of the leadership team.
St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal
Please give generously to our annual St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal.We ask all students and families to donate non-perishable food items that can be put into a Christmas hamper to help those families who are struggling. Donations can be made to the class teachers or at either School Office.
