Giving Tree & Community Christmas Lunch
As we approach the season of Advent we turn our focus to the ways in which we can share the love and joy of Christmas with others in our community. Many classes will be cooking and making decorations for the Community Christmas Lunch to be held at the Town Hall on Christmas Day. If you are able to donate cooking items such as condensed milk, coconut, icing sugar, castor sugar, dried fruit (sultanas and apricots) or cocoa your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The Giving Tree has now been placed in the Front Office and is awaiting donations of “unwrapped” gifts or “wrapped gifts” with a label saying what it is. The gifts and money that are collected under the tree are shared between 3 local agencies: AC.Care, The Salvation Army and St Vincent DePaul. We strongly encourage families to have a discussion about what your family can do to share the love of Christmas with others. Students will also be discussing this in classes across the entire College.

End of Year Mass
The End of Year mass is a wonderful opportunity to gather as a school community one last time for the year and give thanks for the friends we have made and the opportunities we have had during 2017. Families are invited to attend this mass in the Barrie Holmes Stadium at 11am on Thursday 30 November 

Youth Mass
The next Youth Mass will be this Sunday 26 November at 5.00pm. We welcome all members of the College community to attend.

Family Mass
Sunday 3 December is the Frist Sunday of Advent. What better way to prepare yourself and your family for the true meaning of Christmas than to attend the Family Mass. We are always looking for children to read and sing at this mass so please let Michelle Coote or Becky Higgins know if your child is keen to be involved.

Term 4 Masses at the College
All masses at the College are held in the Chapel unless otherwise stated. All are welcome to attend.
