Our students had a fantastic time dancing the night away at the school disco held in the hall at the end of Term 3. The dance floor moves were on point and the night was full of fun and laughter! The event was a great success, raising $819 – an excellent effort from everyone involved. A huge thank you to Mike and Gemma Crowe (Wattle Butchery) for donating the delicious sausages – the kids couldn’t get enough, lining up for seconds, thirds and even fourths!

A big thank you also goes to everyone who supported our street stall through donations and participation. Special shout-out to our wonderful organisers Tash Smith and family and Lisa Peterson for their hard work and dedication in bringing the school stall together so successfully. Together, we raised an incredible $3,741, with an extremely generous $7,000 donation made at the stall, bringing the total to $10,741. Your kindness and community spirit are truly appreciated.

We would also like to acknowledge our amazing volunteer dads who have helped run the meat raffles at Lotts throughout Terms 2 and 3. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve raised a fantastic $6,995.

Our students have shown great resilience and adaptability this year, managing all the construction work that has taken place across Terms 2 and 3 with the new toilet amenities block and now the COLA construction in Term 4.

The new school digital sign looks fantastic and has been installed at the corner of Sheridan and Homer Streets – keep an eye out for updates, news and events! We’re also thrilled to see students enjoying the new concrete area, with outdoor stools, tables and refreshed garden plants arriving soon.

With a busy end to the year ahead, we’ve decided to postpone our Term 4 Colour Run fundraiser until 2026, giving us plenty of time to make it even bigger and better!

If anyone is interested in joining our School Community Council for 2026, please reach out to a council member or email Christine Baron at christine.baron@cg.catholic.edu.au. We’d love to have you involved!

Warm regards,
Marg Nicholls
Community Council Secretary
