LAST WEEK FOR DONATION

St Vincent Christmas Appeal – Food hampers

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal is the time to share all the wonderful Christmas cheer at St Joseph’s with those who are less fortunate than us. To help those in need we will be participating in the St Vincent de Paul 2024 Christmas Appeal. The Christmas Appeal will be launched on Monday of Week 5 and conclude on Friday 6 December. Each year level has been allocated a food group to donate. Please consider showing your child how we can all bring joy to others this Christmas through donating to others in need.

For families wishing to provide a gift for specific families in our area there will be a giving tree in the front office at both the ELC and school. These giving trees will have gift tags with the age and gender of people in the O’Connor and Lyneham area that are in need this Christmas. Families are invited to take a tag from the tree, and tape it to a wrapped gift before placing it under the giving tree. If purchasing gift cards please give them to the office for safe keeping.
