Wednesday Wheels Day
An initiative by some of our Yr 8 boys wanting a place where they can scooter, roller blade or skateboard in a safe environment came to fruition yesterday when the School Council approved a Wednesday Wheels Day each week.  In the breaks and at lunch time, the basketball court is sealed off for students from Yrs 5 to 8 so they can go on their wheels without any distractions.

Young Vinnies
Our Young Vinnies have been out and about in the community and today they were helping stack firewood for one of the parishioners as part of their service.  Some of our Young Vinnies also help clean inside the church and were rewarded with a visit up to the top of the dome of the church recently. Further photos and their comments are later in the blog.
