Vinnies Winter Appeal – Making a Difference

A big thank you to our school community for your incredible support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Our recent Pyjama Day was a huge success, raising $564.20 through gold coin donations. This money will go directly to supporting individuals and families doing it tough this winter.

We are also so grateful for the many generous donations of warm winter items. Your kindness is truly appreciated. It’s a powerful reminder of how our small acts of kindness can have a big impact.

Illuminate Youth Ministry Gathering

Last Thursday, our Year 6 Youth Ministry students took part in the Illuminate Gathering at John Paul II College, joining students from 16 Catholic schools across Canberra. Thank you to Stella for her well-written speech about our school and why she loves Youth Ministry. This speech was presented to a large audience that included the new Executive Director of Catholic Education Canberra and Goulburn, Mr David de Carvalho. It was a special day filled with music, reflection, drama, and small group activities, all focused on deepening their faith and understanding of their relationship with God.

Our students represented our school beautifully and were fully engaged in every aspect of the day. A special mention to Phoebe, Stella, Summer and Zara who demonstrated particularly thoughtful and meaningful reflections on the gathering – their words showed a deep connection to the theme and purpose of the day.
