Father’s Day Liturgy Zoom 

This year, our Father’s Day liturgy will be streamed via Zoom (invitation below) next Friday 4th September at 12 noon. We invite dads, grandfathers and families to join in at home or from your work desk over a break. This is a short opportunity to come together in community through prayer and to be present for some kind words of thankfulness for all you do as a father. We will have a number of children K-6 to help us with this online liturgy.  

Father's Day Liturgy Zoom at 12:00 noon.

Socktober 

Throughout September and October, Mini Vinnies and the Student Council will be leading us in our Socktober mission for Catholic Mission, so get ready to sock it to poverty in a very different way! Over the next few weeks, Mini Vinnies and the Student Council will be sharing some key messages about poverty and mission with the school community.  

The Socktober Challenge supports Catholic Mission and invites children to engage with developing world issues through the language they understand best – play! Children are challenged to ‘Sock it to Poverty’ using the world game of soccer. As students work their way through the challenge, they will gain an understanding of the reality of vulnerable children around the world, kicking goals along the way to provide vital support for their brothers and sisters in India, Ethiopia, Thailand and Cambodia. 

Mini Vinnies and the Student Council will be working closely together with Mrs Standing, Mrs Temple, Miss Colvin and Ms Powell to coordinate our Socktober Challenge this year, which will give students the opportunity to learn about other cultures and create their own soccer ball using recycled materials.  Each week, Mini Vinnies will share some stories or information relating to Socktober.
