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.

Holy Week Today we celebrated Holy Week the most important week in the church’s year. Each class re-enacted an event of Holy Week and together we retraced the last week of Jesus’ life on Earth as we followed his footsteps right up to his death on a cross and when his body was placed in a tomb. Our celebration bought the Easter story to life for our students and families. It was a beautiful prayerful and sacred time. We wish everyone a holy and happy Easter.
