Thank you for taking up the challenge and helping others in need. Wesley Raymond from St Vincent de Paul Society - Canberra/Goulburn, picked up a trailer load of donated bags of clothing for this most worthwhile cause.  Many thanks to all our families for their generosity. 

Social Justice Day

Last Wednesday Year’s Three to Six were fortunate to be involved in an inspiring and reflective Social Justice Day led by Wez Raymond Youth Liason Officer for Vinnies.  The children participated in fun games and workshops focusing on informing our students about the social justice issues and statistics in our society and what they can do at a school and local level.  They finished the day with Action Statements outlining their commitment to supporting school and community initiatives.  The children gained much from the day and were complimented by Wez on their enthusiasm and behaviour.

Project Compassion

Thank you for supporting this year “Give Lent 100 %”. Please return all boxes this coming Friday so we can finalise the donations.

Reflection for the week:

“If we are really called to carry the love of God far

and wide, if we are to inflame the nations with this

fire, if we have the vocation of setting the whole

world on fire, if it is so, then how much I must

myself burn with this fire”

St Vincent de Paul

Reflection QUESTIONS

• What makes you want to set the whole world on fire?

Walking with you in Faith and Knowledge,

Mrs Wilson
