Happy Birthday to Jesse N, Henry C

A big thank you to everyone who was able to support the St Jude’s School fete on the weekend.  It was a fantastic community day and we hope you had a great time.  This week we had a wonderful celebration of Harmony Day with children wearing traditional dress to represent their cultural background, or wearing orange for Harmony. We were also very excited to have a visit from Peter from Canberra Reptile Zoo with his reptile friends including a tree frog, turtles, a crocodile, lizards and snakes.  Would you hold a python like Mr Luc?

Project Compassion

Throughout Lent we are learning about the importance of doing kind things for others.  We are participating in Project Compassion to help people living in poverty.  Children can bring in gold coin donations to contribute to their class Project Compassion box.
