Last week the year 3 students went to the Australiana Pioneer Village to experience what Sydney was like in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Some of the experiences they had were doing the laundry, going on a tractor ride, learning about what a blacksmith used to do, helping to churn butter, learning about sheep shearing and visiting the small cottages and the schoolhouse. They had a great time! Part 2![870148851588051_1116316970304570-1]()

On Friday 23rd of May…our wonderful St Andrew’s VSM Teacher Team🤝(Vinnies Sandwich Making) were busy after school, preparing hundreds of sandwiches 🥪 that were then delivered to St Vincent de Paul Society. All the sandwiches made will go out that night, to support the Vinnies Van Services for the Sydney Night Patrol, which aim to provide companionship, compassion and hope for those they serve. The afternoon was a great success 🤩 for our St Andrew's staff to come together, and actively model our school motto “Growth in Christ:” working together in solidarity to reach out to those in our community experiencing hardship. Thank you again 🙏 to ALL the volunteers of the VSM Teacher Team☺️

Today, some of dedicated members of our school's FIAT team; with Mrs Parks and Mrs Hyson, were blessed 🙏with the opportunity 🤩 to participate in the Diocesan Big Walk for Water at Parramatta Park. Together we walked 🚶♀️💓🚶♀️💓🚶♀️💓🚶♀️💓🚶♀️ in solidarity, with over 2 BILLION people worldwide, to acknowledge and support the humanitarian issue of people across Africa, Asia and the Pacific who have to travel great distances to access clean water every day. It was truly affirming 🥰 to unite with other schools in the Diocese with the common goal of walking for justice and dignity for all.

To our St Andrew's Community, As part of our catholic mission for social awareness and justice, we’re taking part in supporting 'The Big Water Walk' organised by Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. The goal is to raise awareness of the challenges faced by so many to access basic needs and rights. Therefore, during Lent we are Uniting Against Poverty by taking part in Caritas Australia's Project Compassion, by raising funds to empower people living in poverty around the world. On Thursday the 3rd of April we are having our BIG Caritas day. On that day we are participating in 'The Big Walk' for Water. We encourage you to sponsor your child and to collect sponsors for them through our St Andrew’s online donation page, which can be found in the newsletter or on our Facebook page. (If you have already donated you don’t need to donate again). On Caritas day (3/4) the walk will start at 9:30am and will finish by 10:50 am in the classrooms. The walk will be held within the school grounds, and all parents and carers are welcome to participate. On the day students can bring coins for: 1) the lolly guessing competition, which will be $1 a guess, and 2) Caritas bracelets will also be available to purchase for $2. Thank you for standing with us, as we Unite Against Poverty through Project Compassion this Lent.💜💜💜
