St Vincent de Paul Society Christmas Carols

We will be holding a number of Carols sessions with students throughout the day on Monday 14 December.

 

The aim of the Christmas Carols is to raise student awareness and provide financial support for the St Vincent de Paul Society in the Bulli Parish as they assist families in need this Christmas. Monday 14 December will be a mufti-day with a Christmas theme and students are asked to donate $5 in place of our usual raffle. (Of course families with many children can donate according to your means) 

 

Further information is available on the Catholic Identity page of this newsletter, including an educational video.

 

One parent from each family in Years 1 to 6 is invited to attend, and two parents of students in Kindergarten. The event will not be a single whole school event but rather, scheduled sessions for each grade so that we can cater to our COVID-19 requirements.  The schedule will run as follows:

 

9:15 am - Years 5 and 6 (Stage 3) + 1 parent from each family.

10:00 am - Years 1 and 2 (Stage 1) + 1 parent from each family.

11:20 am - Years 3 and 4 (Stage 2) + 1 parent from each family.

12:00 pm - Kindergarten (Early Stage 1)  + 2 parents from each family.

 

If a parent is unable to attend then a grandparent or adult family member may attend. 

 

Pre-school children may attend but must remain with the parent and not mix with students at any time. Parents are asked to only bring their own pre-school age child/ren and not children from other families.

 

Families of Kindergarten students may take their child home after their Christmas Carols session is finished.
