GRANDPARENT'S AND SPECIAL FRIEND'S DAY

Yesterday we celebrated Grandparent's and special friend's day at Holy Name. We had a delicious shared lunch. The school and church was a hive of activity with excited students proudly showing their classrooms and learning to their grandparents and special friends. We finished the day with a special prayer service celebrating all our Grandparents and special friends.

SOCIAL JUSTICE AT HOLY NAME

This term, one of our social justice activities will be linked to our science inquiry theme of sustainability. We are calling all students and families to collect and recycle all PLASTIC bread tags by bringing them in to school and putting them into the container in your classroom.

For more information see the below website

Mary Honeybun started Bread Tags for Wheelchairs in South Africa in 2006.

Retiring from nursing, she wanted to help others and was also passionate about the environment. Mary was aware that the majority of people in need of wheelchairs in South Africa were unable to afford to buy their own.

She came up with the idea of recycling plastic to raise funds to buy wheelchairs and found a plastic moulding company prepared to take bread tags.
