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.

The iHelp Group has been busy sorting out all of the Vinnies Winter Appeal donations from our school community and packing countless snack packs. Some Year 3 and Year 4 iHelp representatives helped deliver the food donations this week to the Vinnies Services Van in Greystanes and the winter woolies to the Vinnies Support Centre in Blacktown. They witnessed dedicated volunteers working hard to help people in need in our community. All your generous donations allows them to do this. Together, we're helping to bring warmth and support to those who need it most this winter. Vinnies NSW NSW Vinnies Youth Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese
