Every week during winter our students make soup for Centacare.

Centacare Youth Service is a supported accommodation service for young homeless people aged 15-25.

Young people in our service often have limited support from family and have come to our service to work through issues that have led to them being homeless.

Some of the issues that clients present with are around financial hardship and they struggle to provide food for themselves and their family.

Due to limited funding Centacare Youth Service is not able to provide food assistance to clients and having the soup provided by the school allows us to give food to hungry clients.

Centacare Youth Service would like to thank everyone for the time and effort that goes into making the soup for their clients and the food that is provided towards it.

Our students get very competitive as their House Teams try to collect the most cans for St Vincent de Paul. We regularly collect  over 1000 cans which assist St Vincent de Paul in making up hampers for the disadvantaged.

Our happy band of knitters include mothers, fathers and grandparents. Teaching students the basics of knitting squares for our blanket appeal brings out a wonderful community spirit.

The whole school participated in an old - fashioned fair to raise money for Charity. There were delicious food stalls and fun sideshows which were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We combine our celebration of St Patrick and St Joseph by having  a Green and Brown day and activities centred around the saints.

Our old fashioned non-technology day reminded our students about how far Catholic Education has progressed from the time Mary MacKillop started her school in Penola.
