Representatives from Year One dropped off gifts at the Giving Tree
The true mission of Jesus and the spirit of Christmas was evident at Holy Cross Primary School Glenwood this week when Year One students presented gifts they bought for the Kmart Wishing Tree at Blacktown.
The store manager met three representatives from Year One- Arabelle Stennett, Patrick Villiers and Amelia O’Rourke and congratulated them on their generosity towards those in need.
Earlier this term, students made puzzles, packaged them and sold them, to raise money for the gifts. The students then chose gifts and wrapped them in their own art work for children in need this Christmas.
Principal Marina Hardy said that the students’ generous and thoughtful actions reflect the true meaning of Christmas. ‘We are very proud of our young students who have worked to raise money and buy gifts to those who are not as fortunate,’ said Marina.

We are so proud of our Year 4 students who continued their fantastic support for the Great Western Sydney Vinnies Van today! The students successfully prepared a range of 60 fresh sandwiches to donate. These efforts make a tangible difference in our community, helping people who struggle to provide enough food for themselves and their families, or those experiencing homelessness. A massive thank you also goes to Ms. Doherty, who has been an integral and dedicated part of this process since it was first introduced in Term 1. What an incredible example of compassion and service!

A very exciting game of cricket today but unfortunately for our team we were on the losing end by the narrowest of margins π After keeping the opposition to 7/97 we ended our innings at 7/92 losing by just 5 runs. The team did so well the whole way through the competition and should be extremely proud of making it to the Final 6 teams π
