MOTHERS DAY

We hope all Mums, Stepmums, Nans, Grans and special ladies had a lovely Mothers Day. We received some very beautiful and heart-warming feedback from our Kinder to Grade 6 families for the special ‘tea-riffic’ cards and activities that were sent out for all primary students to create. Special thanks to Parish Associates Hannah and Robert for the time spent putting over 600 packs together! It was a colossal effort but appreciated by many!

VINNIES PANTRY DRIVE

Thanks to all families who contributed to our Vinnies Pantry Drive held across the College from 4th - 8th May. We were able to pass on a boot load of groceries and toiletries which were collected by Vinnies Youth Engagement and Development Officer, Simon Terhell for distribution to those in need in Southern Tasmania.

CARDS OF CARE

Thank you so much to those students and families who have responded. Beautiful cards have been coming in from students across both campuses! We are continuing this initiative for the next few weeks.

We are looking for ways to connect with our wider community and after getting in touch with local care facilities we are collecting letters and cards to distribute to those residents who are in isolation and feeling cut off from society in the midst of this pandemic. This is open to all staff, students from Kinder to Grade 10, and their families. Why not sit down as a family and write a few cards to help brighten the day of those feeling lonely or disconnected. You can write in a pre-purchased card or draw, paint or make your own. Maybe include a poem, a drawing or a few words about how you are staying positive in the midst of change and uncertainty.   A couple of lines about what you are thinking, feeling and doing is enough to make a meaningful connection with those who need it most. Many residents are from an era where letter writing was the norm for much of their social interaction and so receiving mail can help support the memory of times when they were younger. Letters can be handed in to either campus office or emailed to james.wright@catholic.tas.edu.au or  pauline.marriott@catholic.tas.edu.au
