Placebook at Our Lady Help Of Christians school earlier in the year raised a question for us …
What will we do with our leftover books ?
We found out that Huay Ka Loke CDTC urgently needed books to assist with learning the English language . So our Mini Vinnies Mission Awareness team and the year 5 students wrote letters and sent our books there . They were most gracious and are now sending us letters back .We hope to build a relationship with the learning community there by continuing our communication and mission initiative of Placebook next year .Two of our Catholic Social Teachings come to mind as we have participated in this initiative as a whole school community .
Preferential Option for the Poor
We live in an amazing world with enough resources for everyone. Yet, many miss out.
Dignity of the Human Person
We are made in God’s image. This means we each have a God-given dignity.

Walk-a-thon
Our annual Walk-a-thon, along a small section of East Warrnambool's magnificent coastline and the Hopkins river, was held today in very wintry conditions. The children did a great job and a few coastal showers were good for the soul. A toasted sandwich awaited for them at school. Thanks to all the parents who helped us out with the food and supervision.

Grade 2 Sleepover
Our grade two children had a terrific time on Thursday evening. Including a walk from the breakwater to Lake Pertobe. Fish 'n chips for dinner, Red faces talent show, a movie and lights out. The children were so well behaved and fun to be around. A big effort for these young ones staying away form Mum and Dad for a night.
I met the children at Lake Pertobe and some of the kids were very keen to look after my friendly dog, Sammy. He loved the attention and they loved walking and patting him.
A BIG thank-you to the staff and interns for their care and supervision of the children.

Mission Day 2018
World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to the missionary movement. It is celebrated on the penultimate (next-to-last) Sunday of October every year. It was created by Pope Pius XI in 1926 as the day of prayer for missions. Our senior students planned, set up and supervised a range of stalls and activities for all the children to raise funds for Missions directly linked to the Catholic Church. Our activities followed on from a school mass with Father Lawrie.
