Our new Pope

On Sunday 18 May, Pope Leo XIV celebrated an outdoor Mass formally inaugurating him as the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, telling world leaders, the assembled hierarchy of his church and more than 100,000 faithfuls, gathered in St Peter’s Square, that his vow is to work for unity so that the Catholic Church becomes a sign of peace in the world. As a Catholic school we look forward to the teachings and leadership of our new pope and assisting him to spread this message of peace. 

Project Compassion

Thank you for your generosity in your donations towards Project Compassion, helping those less fortunate here in Australia and overseas. Thanks to those of you who have returned these to us. If yet to do so we ask that they all be returned before the end of this week. A big thank you to Kindergarten for the many boxes they have returned this term.

Winter Appeal Year 4 Social Justice Team, Winter Appeal

​​Right now, many people in Australia don’t have a safe place to live, warm clothes to wear or a warm bed to sleep in. This winter, more people than ever need help. Our Del Monte Winter Appeal is supporting those who are struggling in our local and wider community. Sometimes, people just need a little help to pay bills or rent, so they don’t lose their homes.

Some families have to leave their homes because they are not safe. We can help by caring, sharing, and supporting others who need a helping hand. By helping our Del Monte Winter Appeal, you can support people who are doing it tough. Your help gives them the things they need now and also helps them build a better future.

The Social Justice Team are collecting any of the following:

  • men’s woollen socks
  • ladies socks
  • warm gloves
  • scarves
  • beanies
  • small packet size tissues
  • small torch
  • jumpers
  • warm jackets
  • doonas
  • flannelette sheets
  • blankets – all sizes

Please donate any of the above items to the school over the next four weeks. We will be collecting them from your classroom each week.

Thank you for supporting our initiative.
