Anglicare Winter Appeal
By Rev. Dr Katherine Rainger, Senior Chaplain
Our service partners at St John’s Care, an Anglicare partner, continue to meet the needs of Canberrans. Their services are in great demand.
St John’s Care aims to bridge the gap and break the cycle of disadvantage, isolation and economic hardship with compassion, advocacy, respect and encouragement through the provision of emergency relief and other programs.
Students across the College regularly visit St John’s Care to hear about their work, stack the shelves, play music and serve at the community lunches.
This is the final week of our whole College pantry and warm clothing appeal.
Bring your donations of non-perishable items and good quality, clean warm clothing to:
Junior School
- Junior School Foyer
- ELC reception
- 5/6 reception
Secondary School
- 5 –12 Library
- Well-being reception (lower Morison Centre)
Please read through the list of grocery items below. Every little bit helps.
Activities on Friday 24 May
Junior School – wear your ‘Winter Warmers’
Students are to come to school in their regular school uniform but may add a winter warmer. Winter warmers include items like hats, scarves, gloves and earmuffs which can be removed when undertaking sport.
Please Note: Oodies and PJ’s are not to be worn to school. Items need to be easily removed to ensure full participation in Friday Sport.
Secondary School – wear your ‘Winter Woolies’
Time to dig out your fluffy jumpers, scarves, beanies and hoodies for a non-uniform day. Remember your donation for St John’s Care.
There will be a cake stall and hot chocolate at lunchtime on the Morison lawn.
Students are reminded to dress warmly and wear appropriate shoes for sport and practical subjects. Clothing must be appropriate for school and adhere to the guidelines for non-uniform days.
