Gioia House Caritas Bake Sale
Our recent Gioia House Bake Sale was a wonderful success where we raised much needed funds for Caritas Project Compassion. Thank you to all the students and families who contributed to the bake sale. The tables were filled with delicious treats, and the enthusiastic support from our school community made the event truly special.
The Gioia House students raised: $1,522.65 – much needed funds which will help provide clean water, education and resources to areas of need.
Thank you to all the students, families and teachers who helped make this event such a sweet success.

Our generous and kind-hearted Gioia House students have been contributing their loose change and pocket money towards the House Caritas Clean Water fundraiser.
All money raised goes towards the Carry for Caritas Water Challenge. Depending on the amount each team raised, teams were supplied with different tools and containers to help fill their bucket of water. Congratulations to the winning team

Celebrating Harmony Day – everyone belongs!
Our school community came together to celebrate Harmony Week, a special event that recognises and celebrates the many cultures that make Australia such a diverse country. It was wonderful to see the whole school community united in the spirit of inclusion, respect and belonging.
Students and teachers took part in activities that highlighted the importance of accepting and valuing our differences while recognising our similarities too.
Harmony day reminds us that everyone belongs and that our diversity makes our school an even stronger and more welcoming place for all.
