On Monday, our school joined together to celebrate the beginning of Advent. As we continue our journey through Advent, students will be completing activities within class to prepare for the coming of Jesus.
ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS APPEAL
You can help end poverty
Christmas should be a special time for everyone. Many within our local community find the financial strain of Christmas too much to bear. Now is your chance to give back and help to change someone’s life for the better.
This year the Mini Vinnies team have organised each grade to donate a specific festive item.
Kindergarten – Lollies / Candy canes
Year 1 – Christmas cookies / shortbread
Year 2 – Bon-bons
Year 3 – Chips / popcorn
Year 4 – Christmas chocolates / chocolates
Year 5 – Fruit cake / Mince tarts
Year 6 – Savoury biscuits
Please donate and give the gift of hope this Christmas. Donations can be donated to the school and will be collected in the classrooms. Please be careful to ensure that food is not past the best by or used by date for Christmas.
We are also taking donations of Christmas shopping bags to package the items in. All donations can be given to the class teacher.
These donations will be presented to St Vincent de Paul at the end of the year Christmas Celebration.
YEAR SIX GRADUATION
We are calling for students from the choir or siblings of Year Six students who would like to participate in Mass for our Year Six Graduation. We are hoping to form a choir to support the singing at the Graduation Mass on Wednesday 11th December at 6pm. If your child is able to assist, please ask them to ask Mrs Marsh for a note with further details.
