22.01.2022 Dear preps & grade 1/2's, please keep an eye out because soon you will have mail... ;)

21.01.2022 Our school is known as 'The little school with a big heart' and as a Catholic school we are called to act with compassion, empathy and care for the vulnerable. Christmas for us is about reaching out to all in our community. So every Christmas we support St Vincent de Paul to create hampers that will be distributed to people and families in need. It is heartwarming to see how helpful our students and their families are. Vinnies Australia @vinniesvictoria
