As the academic year draws to a close and the Christmas season is upon us, it’s a great time to reflect on and be grateful for the many blessings we have. The Christmas season also brings to our attention the plight of so many families who are less fortunate than us and provides us with an opportunity to give something back to those in need. 

Each year, we as a College make every effort to support St Vincent De Paul in their challenge to help the needy in our community.  The focus for St Vincent De Paul this year is "supporting families”, who they feel are most in need at this time.  We are seeking donations of gift cards, day to day items, tinned food, as well as some traditional Christmas treats.  These could be items that are considered treats at Christmas or staples to fill a pantry. 

Donations can be placed under the giving tree at the College Office or in the box/basket in your child's classroom by Friday, 30 November. All the donations will then be given to the St Vincent De Paul Society at the College Christmas Fair on Sunday, 2 December.

Please see the table for your child's class group so we can streamline the donations ensuring we receive a range of goodies for those in need.
