• Students may change into sports clothing if this is not their PE day. 

Melanie sets out the Child Care Subsidy and the Additional Child Care Subsidy which will recommence from the 13th July 2020.  This will mean child care will no longer be provided without charge.  For a complete explanation ......

Winter appeal still on and needed

This winter, your commitment to helping those experiencing disadvantage and poverty is still very much needed and appreciated.

The Winter Appeal supports the notion that ordinary people are able to make an extraordinary difference in the communities where they live. The inspiration to do what matters is all around us. The Spirit to feed, heal, shelter, nuture, inspire - the power to change lives- is in everyone.

The St Vincent de Paul Society has launched its Covid-19/Winter Appeal to help people experiencing disadvantage. As the impacts of job losses due to Covid-19 are realised and more people reach out for assistance, the organisation needs your help to ensure our local Conference members and volunteers can continue their work supporting the disadvantaged in our community.
