Assistant Principals’ News

At this time of the year we try to make a special effort to think of others – it may be people we know but also those we don’t know by name. As a school community we try to be aware of the needs of others – especially those in the most immediate area of Perth. We always keep those in need in our prayers but we also try and help in more practical and sometimes personal ways.

These practical and personal ways that we can assist others are seen in many forms.

At Infant Jesus School

• the choir are sharing their gifts and talents with the wider community, when they visit a local nursing home later in November to perform for the residents
• everyone is invited to collect items for the St Vincent de Paul Society ‘Christmas Appeal’

The St Vincent de Paul Society ‘Christmas Appeal’ is an initative of the Year Six Pastoral Care Ministry. They have organised boxes / baskets for each class. We are invited to help in a very practical way to collect non-perishable items and bring these to school to support the St Vincent de Paul Society ‘Christmas Appeal.’

The non-perishable goods will to be given to families in our community who don’t have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas. This can be due to financial difficulties, illness, disability, homelessness or isolation. St Vincent de Paul aims to, with our help, collect goods that can be given to these people with the aim of bringing joy to those less fortunate in our community. So we are asking that all families donate non-perishable goods including:

• Tinned food (Tinned Fruit, Baked Beans, Tinned Vegetables, Tinned Tuna, Tinned Soup, Tinned Spaghetti etc).
• Treats (Christmas Cake, Fruit Mince Pies, Biscuits, Candy Canes etc)
• Beverages (Soft Drink, Juice, Long Life Milk, Coffee, Tea, Milo etc)
• Condiments (Jam, Vegemite, Tomato Sauce, etc)
• Meals (Pasta Sauce, Pasta, Rice, Noodles, Cereals etc).

As a ministry the children have decided that:

• Pre-Kindy/Kindergarten/Pre-Primary students will be collecting treats and tinned foods.
• Year One & Year Two students will be collecting treats and beverages.
• Year Three & Four students will be collecting treats and condiments.
• Year Five & Year Six students will be collecting treats and meals.

(It is imperative that all goods are in date and in good condition)

We ask that all donations please be sent to your child’s classroom, where they will be collected by the Pastoral Care Ministry each week.

St Vincent De Paul will be visiting Infant Jesus School to collect the donations on the Friday 16 November 2018.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
