On Wednesday 20th June St Mary MacKillop Catholic Primary had our Term 2 Social Justice activity that supported the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal and Penrith Community Kitchen.
The community support of this social justice activity was amazing and I would like to thank every student and their family for their amazing generosity.
Overall your donations amounted to:
- 34 bags full of beanies, scarves, gloves, socks and blankets
- $300 for the St Vincent DePaul Winter Appeal
- 75 bags of non-perishable groceries for Penrith Community Kitchen.
This food will go towards making many meals to feed the needy and homeless this winter.
Congratulations St Mary MacKillop, every one of you helped to make this winter better for a lot of needy people.

Year 3 have had an amazing day filled with wonder, awe and exploring as we learnt about our Traditional Custodians, the Dharug People and some of our earliest European Settlers. We also learnt about the land, life and times of our local area, from before Early Settlement through to now. We can't wait to become the teachers and teach you all about everything we learnt and discovered today.

Yesterday, Year 4 gathered together with Father Joe to celebrate Mass and reflect on the theme of the Eucharist, the Bread of Life. This theme was especially meaningful as many of our Year 4 students have recently prepared for and received their First Holy Communion. During the Mass, students reflected on the Eucharist as God’s special gift to his people and the beautiful invitation we receive to share in this special meal, a meal of love, faith and connection. It was a wonderful celebration of this important milestone in our students’ faith journey.
