Advent Prayer Celebrations

Congratulations to Kinder Green and Mrs Scanlan for your fabulous Advent liturgy last Thursday. It certainly was a joy to share that prayer time with you. We are eagerly anticipating 5 Blue leading us in prayer this week for our fourth and final Advent liturgy. All families are invited to join us in the church at 2:00pm this Thursday afternoon for this celebration.

Leadership Ceremony

Our Year 6 Leaders perform their final official task this coming Thursday, 12th December, as they pass on the light of leadership to our Year 5 students. This special ceremony will be held in the school hall at 9:30am. All parents and families, especially those of Years 5 & 6 are most welcome to join us.

Christmas Appeal

A huge thank you to everyone for the donations to our St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper appeal. Your generosity is overwhelming. Your kind support will go to help many in our local community to not only enjoy Christmas a little more with the practicality of food and drink, but also to know that someone cares for them and is thinking of them. Thank you again.

Dignity Hamper – final call for 2024

As part of our ongoing support of St Vincent de Paul and those in need in our own community we have established a new dignity hamper. Families are invited to donate to the hampers items to assist the homeless and those in need with hygiene items such as shampoo and conditioner, body wash or soap, deodorant, tampons and pads, incontinence aids and moisturizer. All donations can be place in the new cubes outside the Coordinators’ Office. These will be passed on to St Vincent de Paul as the cubes at the end of this week. Thank you in anticipation of your generous donations.

Thank You

On a personal note, I would like to thank the St Thomas Aquinas community for your warm welcome this year. The kind and generous community of this school and parish make teaching and leading in the school a wonderful experience. Whilst I am sad to be leaving this community, I am very excited by the new opportunities being offered and eagerly anticipate seeing many of you again in the future.
