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.

πβ Today was R U Ok? Day βπ Sometimes all it takes is to ask someone 'R U Ok?' During lunch time today, our school hall was transformed to a quiet and calming space where friends could connect, take a moment to themselves, and remind each other asking R U Ok? is kind way to connect and support one another. With relaxing music playing, a meditative under ocean video on the big screen, mandalas to colour, affirmation cards to fill in, chatterboxes to help pose questions, puzzles to work on together and some comfy cushions all around - our beautiful students were reminded of how important it is to look out for each other. We also asked our students a range of questions where they could add to the graffiti walls and remind each other of who we can turn to if we ever need some help. What a beautiful community to be a part of β¨

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, itβs surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
