Spread Christmas Cheer with Villa Maria
It's time to share the joy of Christmas with the residents of Villa Maria Nursing Home in Unanderra. As part of our annual tradition, we invite all students to bring two empty Christmas cards with their matching envelopes to school.
These cards will be hand-delivered by Ms. Sartor to brighten the season for the residents so there is no need for a stamp — just kind wishes and festive creativity!
It is requested that students please bring their cards to the school by Friday, the end of Week 8.
Let’s make this Christmas extra special by spreading warmth and holiday cheer!
Thank you for helping make this wonderful tradition possible.
Over the past weekend, students in Year 3 and 4 had the profound blessing of receiving their First Holy Communion — a sacred milestone in their faith journey. Surrounded by family, friends, and our parish community of Immaculate Conception they experienced the joy of welcoming Jesus into their hearts in a special way.
We are so proud of these students for their commitment and preparation, and we pray that this beautiful sacrament strengthens their connection to God's love and grace. May they continue to grow in faith and be shining examples of His light in the world. We thank their teachers Mrs Anna Jaklic and Mrs Amanda Garretty who have prepared the students so well for their special day.
This coming Saturday will see two of our students celebrate at St Therese and we wish them all the very best on their special day.
Congratulations to all our First Communicants!
