As the year continues to swiftly go by, we would be very aware while out and about that Christmas is coming quickly too! As we start to think about what the Christmas season means for us personally, we also as a school and Parish community consider what this is like for those who are not fortunate enough to have what they need, nevertheless have enough to celebrate as others of us might. A beautiful St Agnes’ Parish tradition is to provide hampers for those in our school and Parish community who otherwise would not have a Merry Christmas.

This year, our Parish schools again support those families in need, through donating items to the St Agnes’ Parish Hamper Appeal. Please check your children’s bags next week for a paper note that has items to donate to each classes basket. We have specific needs to fill each hamper and would appreciate your assistance to have them filled with those items. If you feel you can donate more, there are further ideas on the note or you can speak to your child’s teacher. We will not ask too much of any family, but together, we will be able to gather it and fill the hearts and homes of needy families.

Thank you for your kind support.
