As a Catholic school community, a cornerstone of our mission is to live out the Gospel message of love and service to others, especially those most vulnerable. This spirit of compassion is at the heart of our participation in Jeans for Genes Day on Thursday, August 7th.

This important day raises vital funds for the Children's Medical Research Institute, who are dedicated to finding cures and treatments for children living with genetic diseases. Imagine the hope this research brings to families facing challenging diagnoses – hope for a better quality of life, for breakthroughs, and even for cures. By simply wearing our jeans and making a gold coin donation, our students are directly contributing to life-changing research. It's a wonderful opportunity for our children to understand that their small actions can make a profound difference in the lives of others, embodying the Christian call to care for our neighbours in need - a great link to the Good Samaritan parable.

You may be aware that one of our students, Sophia in Year 3, is one of the 'faces' of Jeans for Genes. Her story can be seen on their website . Our school's flyer also mentions that the Today Show will be doing live crosses to our school on the morning of 7 August. As we are limited in the number of students who can be directly involved in these live crosses, we are focusing on Sophia and the Year 3 students.

Thank you for your continued generosity and for helping us teach our students the power of collective giving.

School Disco

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to the many parents who assisted at the Disco last Friday night. Your generosity of time is greatly appreciated. The children definitely had a great time!

Wishing you a blessed week,
