Year 7 Purple Bake Sale
Year 7 students have been celebrating Christmas in July! Across the month, there were several opportunities designed to encourage student agency, social connections and outreach, reflecting the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools 2030 vision that "every student is inspired and enabled to flourish and enrich the world".
Students worked with their Homeroom Teachers to select activities for their peers to participate in. These included positive affirmation Christmas chains, Christmas movies, Secret Santa affirmation letters, gingerbread decorating and supporting the St Vinnie's Winter Appeal collection. In addition, a Christmas casual clothes day and bake sales raised more than $700 for the work of the RNDM Sisters in Kenya. Sr Mary McInerney kindly gave up her time to come and speak to the Year 7 students about the Sisters' work with the disabled in Kenya.
Thank you to Mr Tuan Vu from AJ's Bakery in East Bentleigh, for his generous donation of gingerbread biscuits for the 7 Blue Gingerbread Sale.

On Thursday 27 of July, Year 7 Purple came together and made many sweets and treats to sell at a bake sale. The students created the treats decorated for Christmas as this winter the Year 7 students are celebrating Christmas in July. $350 was raised from the event and all the money goes toward the work of the RNDM Sisters in Kenya. Thank you to all the students who bought desserts to help raise money.
Happy Christmas!
Leoni and Year 7 Purple
