St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
This winter as a school community, we are working to support the great work done by the Helensburgh St Vincent de Paul society to help locals in need. To help out we are asking you, from Week 8, to donate non-perishable food items to make up winter hampers. In order for Vinnies to create as many winter food hampers as possible, items have been split throughout the school. In each classroom a basket will be located near the prayer space for donations.
Kinder - Tinned soup
Year 1 - Spreads such as vegemite, jam , honey etc
Year 2 - Breakfast items such as porridge, cereal etc
Year 3 - Tea, coffee, milk etc
Year 4 - Tinned spaghetti, baked beans or any 'on-toast' foods etc
Year 5 - Dessert mixes such as pancake mix, golden syrup etc
Year 6 - Packet of casserole foods such as pasta, rice or a jar of sauce etc.
Additionally, on Thursday 23 June we will have a share the winter warmth day. Students can wear scarfs, beanies, gloves and warm socks with their school uniform. This is in return for the donations that have been received.
First Holy Communion
On June 19, students in Year Three will be making their first Holy Communion. We would like to keep these students in our prayers as they prepare for this very important time in their faith journey. Thank you to their families for their support and Mrs Rowles for all she has done in the lead up to the day.
All families are invited to join in the First Holy Communion celebration on Sunday 19 June 10am at Holy Cross Church.
