On Tuesday 25th February we celebrated Pancake Day and raised over $400 for the St Vincent de Paul Bushfire Appeal.
Pancakes were traditionally eaten on the day before Ash Wednesday because they were a way to use up eggs, milk, and sugar before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent.
It has been a terrible start to the year with the bushfires devastating the Eastern Coast of Australia and so much of our wonderful wildlife.
The Holy Family Community were determined to help this cause in any way we could, with the money raised going towards affected families who have had to leave their belongings behind.
The children had ‘stacks’ of fun ‘flipping’ out over their pancakes.
The generosity of our community is greatly appreciated. We would like to thank the parents and children who supported Pancake Day!

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, itβs surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
