United To Fight Cancer

Cancer effects so many lives and loved ones. Our St Agnes' community is not immune from this terrible disease. Please if you can, sponsor Chad Harris in raising funds for Peter Mac, by following the link below:

"I'm running 7 km for Unite to Fight Cancer on 27 October 2019 to raise vital funds for Peter Mac.

For those that don’t know, my beautiful wife Monica was diagnosed with Stage 4 / Metastatic breast cancer almost 2 years ago, she has already been through (and is currently still undergoing) extensive chemo and radiotherapy and is currently defying the odds every day. Mon is a fighter and her positivity and strength through this situation has been an absolute inspiration to us all, especially to our two kids Alannah, 8 and Edward, 5.

Please support me in whatever way you can – together, we can make a real difference for families facing cancer. Chad Harris"

Students will need to wear comfortable shoes. No soccer boots please.

The students will be provided with 2 slices of pizza (either Margherita or Hawaiian) and a juice drink for lunch. A ‘Gelato’ in a cup (either chocolate or vanilla) will be provided after lunch.

Please ensure students are provided with a fruit snack and morning tea and if the students do not wish to have pizza for lunch, please ensure your child comes to school with their own lunch.

Lunch distribution (put 2 slices of pizza in paper bag) & fruit juice – volunteers will need to be at school by 12.45pm for 1pm distribution

Gelato in a cup distribution straight after lunch

Any assistance would be fantastico!

Grazie mille (many thanks) for your continued support.
