A huge thank you to the school community for your generosity in giving to the St Vincent’s de Paul’s Christmas Hamper drive. The children were so excited as they walked through the gates, with their donations in hand, knowing that they were giving to others in need. To see the joy and excitement on their faces as the donations were collected demonstrates the love in giving.

The last school day for students for 2023 is Thursday 14th December.

Friday 15th, Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th December are Staff Development Days.
