Beginning of Term Mass
Last Friday our Year Four, Five and Six students attended our Beginning of Term 4 Mass at St Anthony’s Church. It was a wonderful way to start the day and begin our final term. Our students sang beautifully and were congratulated for their reverence during mass.
Year 5 Camp
A big thank you to our Year Five students for a fun and memorable camp at Swan Valley Adventure Centre! It was a pleasure to take these amazing students away for some fun and laughter, adventure, and to see them push their boundaries while completing various activities.
A big thank you to Caroline (Dayton’s mum) for providing all staff and students with personalised pillowcases as a special keepsake from the Year Five Camp.
A special mention and thank you to the camp team - Mr Fitzgibbons, Miss Nguyen, and Mrs Chan Saw, for joining us and supporting our students, ensuring they had an unforgettable experience. I am sure they all slept very well on Tuesday night.
Wheelchairs for Kids
Yesterday afternoon, our staff visited Wheelchairs for Kids in Wangara. This volunteer-based nonprofit organisation provides the transformative gift of mobility to children in impoverished communities around the world. We were privileged to be led on a tour by Br Olly Pickett, who showed us all the stations in the factory and how the wheelchairs are assembled. We also watched a short video showcasing how these wheelchairs are changing the lives of children.
St Elizabeth's began our connection with Wheelchairs for Kids in 2021 by collecting the ring pulls from cans. We are excited to have our students and community become more involved with this organisation next year as part of our Christian Service initiative.
In gratitude
Emma Fernandez
