Dear Parents,

It has been a very busy few weeks as we have counted down to the Christmas holidays. Thank you for all your support during this business!

It was wonderful to see you all at last week’s church performance. The boys and girls did an exceptional job of telling the story of the Nativity through song, and we truly appreciate you coming out to watch. A special thanks to the teachers for their dedication and hard work in preparing the children for such a memorable performance.

We had a wonderful day yesterday walking to the village and performing Christmas songs in support of St. Vincent de Paul. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along to cheer on the boys and girls and to those who generously donated. It was a fantastic way to get us all into the festive spirit as we officially begin the countdown to Christmas! Thanks to eurospar and centra for all their help and for the treats!!

We had a very special visit from Santa on Wednesday, and the boys and girls were thrilled to meet the man in red individually. A huge thank you to Gemma and all of the Parents' Association for transforming the library into a magical grotto, helping Santa distribute the selection boxes, and ensuring the day ran so smoothly! We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and supportive Parents' Association. The boys and girls were beaming with joy all day long!
