24.01.2022 The organisation that goes into this annual Christmas dinner by Homelessness We Care is just amazing. Led by past student Jane Armstrong, the College, and many old girls and staff volunteered to join her in hosting a joyful and homely Christmas meal for the most vulnerable in Perth. More than 100 volunteers served and waited on the 250 guests all night. Special gift handbags and backpacks full of goodies, gift cards, and presents for kids were handed out. Guests enjoyed a ban...d and an amazing cooked traditional Christmas dinner prepared by volunteers who gathered at Santa Maria for two days of cooking. Dinner was followed by divine fruit cakes and mince pies and there were plenty of takeaways for another hearty meal tomorrow. It was such a humbling, emotional, happy experience shared with some truly inspiring people. . We loved every minute!

18.01.2022 Religious Education teacher, Andrea Dopson has done us proud!
