Every year our school community supports several Catholic organisations and charities through fundraising activities – giving us opportunities to put our faith into practice. As a College we aim to strike a balance of supporting these worthy causes and not putting undue pressure on our own families.
Following on from correspondence sent at the end of Term 3 2022, you are invited to make a small contribution to help families in the Midland community who are experiencing hard times enjoy a little something special during the Christmas season.
If you can, your contribution to the following appeals will make a big difference to the lives of those in need:
- 2022 Christmas Vinnies Appeal – $5 donation per family to support Christmas gifts for local children
- 2022 Christmas Vinnies Appeal – one item per family of non-perishable food (PCAs have a list of food items most needed by Vinnies)
- 2022 Christmas Lifelink Appeal – one item per family for the P&F Christmas Hampers to raffle off at our College Christmas Carols event.
The P&F will be preparing four themed hampers for the raffle and have allocated items by House for families to donate.
- Summer Nibbles – La Salle and Mutien
- Christmas – Benildus and MacKillop
- Beauty and Wellness – Brigid and Solomon
- Family Holiday Fun – Jordan and McCormack
Christmas Hamper items can be dropped off in Building J05 by Friday 26 November 2022.
