Parish Cards
The Parish Card Group that has been running for many years in our Parish Hall, recently announced that they are ceasing operation due to low numbers. Since 2008 this group has donated their annual takings to our school which we have used to purchase books for our library. Over the course of these years this has amounted to over $26000. We sincerely thank this group and, in particular, Mary Farley, for their generous consideration of our school.
Kind regards,
Sue Paulka
Principal
