Identity and Mission
|
This week we remembered the lives of so many people that have been lost in war.
|
|
We acknowledged the presence of God our Father, to whose great love we entrust their souls.
|
|
We give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in this land and for those who laid down their lives to defend them.
|
We pray that we and all people of Australia gratefully remember the courage and the sacrifice endured so that we may continue to live in a spirit of justice, generosity and peace.
|
Parents and carers will receive a communication outlining the details of our annual Christmas Giving Tree. Christmas can be a time of hardship and sorrow especially this past year with many people suffering with the circumstances of COVID-19. De La Salle College asks you to consider those less fortunate in our community and how we may be able to assist.
|
An intrinsic hallmark of being Lasallian is to identify a need in the community and then take action to address it. As such, the College is supporting a Christmas Giving Tree for St Joseph’s Outreach Services and we invite each student to place a gift on behalf of their family under the tree. Students may donate a gift for either a boy or girl of open age. We ask that you consider the need for gifts for teenagers as a priority. We ask that the gifts are not wrapped, rather placed in a gift bag under the giving tree. Please note aerosols/razors (gift packs) or pretend play weapons cannot be accepted.
|
The joy your gift will bring to a child on Christmas morning is immeasurable, the smile on their face will be priceless.
|
We have a Christmas Giving Tree in the Tiverton, Kinnoull and Holy Eucharist Campus reception areas from Monday 8 November. Gifts will be delivered to St Joseph’s Outreach Services after Friday 3 December.
|
Thank you for your continued support of this most deserving project.
