Casual Clothes Day - Thursday, 8 June

Next Thursday 8 June will be a casual clothes day to raise money for the School of St Jude in Tanzania. This coincides with the public event we are running in the evening for Gemma Sisia, founder of St Jude's (refer to the flyer in this newsletter).

Students will learn more in their Religious Education classes this week about the extraordinary work done by the School of St Jude to fight poverty through education. 

Students are asked to to wear blue and gold, as these are the colours of St Jude's, and to please bring a $1 or $2 coin to donate.
