In Term 4 students from Year 9 and Year 10 participated in Community Service for Sport, where we have worked hard making hand made Christmas cards and practicing Christmas carols.

On Thursday the 8th of December we were given the opportunity to visit Rosary Village Nursing Home in Yennora to showcase our Christmas spirit by performing carols and handing out Christmas cards to the residents. The girls from the Knitting Club also assisted by making 40 blankets which were given to the high dependancy residents.

This was an enjoyable experience for all the students who were able to spread the love of God and encourage the joy of Christmas. We were also very excited to visit Father Mac who is a resident of Rosary Village. We presented him with a blanket to signify how thankful we are to have him be a part of our College community. All our hearts were warmed by the generosity and enthusiasm shown by the residents and staff of Rosary Village as well as the joy we brought to the elderly.

We are all thankful for this rewarding experience which taught us that even the smallest act of kindness can go a long way to make a change in someone’s life. On behalf of all the girls in Community Service we would like to especially thank Ms Messina and Ms Lee for making this wonderful day possible. We also thank Mrs Matti and Mrs Canal who led the Knitting Club in making the blankets. We hope to return again to further spread God’s love.
