23.01.2022 Senior Constable Tanya Leonard from the Salisbury Police Station came to talk to our Year 4-6 students about the importance of being safe online. At Saint David’s we strongly believe it is important for students to know and understand about how to be safe and responsible when using information and communication technology and about keeping information safe and secure, being respectful of other people online, and using good 'netiquette' (internet etiquette).

23.01.2022 The theme for Project Compassion 2021 is: Be More. We are inspired by the quote from St Oscar Romero, Aspire not to have more, but to be more. Instead of aspiring to have more, we can focus on how we can BE more. Be more kind, more green, more involved, more aware, more giving. This Lent, let us consider how we can ‘BE MORE’ for our neighbours around the world. Visit https://lent.caritas.org.au/donate to donate to Project Compassion 2021
