23.01.2022 September is CATHOLIC CHARITIES month where a little giving goes a long way. This term our staff have prepared and shared in a Hot Soup Lunch once a week, with all invited to contribute a gold coin donation for the Hutt St Centre to support the homeless. Through this initiative we have raised $140 for the homeless. Our Catholic way is to live with love and justice and our staff have united in faith to provide outreach to those in need. #RaisingHeartsAndMinds

14.01.2022 Today we celebrate the feast day of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, the first Australian saint. Always remaining true to her mission, Mary is remembered fondly for her commitment to education, religious life and justice.

As part of their RE lessons, the 4/5 students spent time learning about the life of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and St Dominic. They also created a collage of them both. The final product looks amazing! Catholic Education South Australia #RaisingHeartsAndMinds
