ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY CHRISTMAS APPEAL This year, the College will again be supporting the St Vincent de Paul Society Annual Christmas Appeal. It is part of the De La Salle tradition to be of service to others in our community. Christmas is a time of great joy and celebration. However, for some, it is a difficult time, especially for families in need. The generosity of our donations give these families hope and spreads the blessing and warmth of Christmas. We are asking students to donate specific items which can be put towards making Christmas hampers for families in our community who are struggling at this time. We are asking families to donate the more traditional ‘Christmas Day’ type of foods. When donating items, please remember to give only items which you would want (and not items which you would like to get rid of). St Vincent de Paul Society - Christmas Appeal Items Christmas Cake Shortbread Packets of Jelly Pasta and Sauce Chips Christmas Pudding Lollies Chocolates Canned Fruit Noodles Christmas Decorations Custard Jams Biscuits Tea & Coffee Please send these items via your son’s homeroom by Tuesday 9th December.

Students worked collaboratively to plan, rehearse and present 40 minutes of presentations and skits that shared highlights from the year with parents and guests. Segments included an informative presentation on how to read and write binary code, a delightful skit in which students interviewed important historical figures, and a touching TED Talk on the value of personal storytelling. Parents and guests were then treated to a learning walk hosted by Newman students that covered the five Newman Stream subjects: Catholic Studies, English, HSIE, Science and Mathematics. I would like to thank the many parents, friends and staff who attended the evening to support our Newman students. I would also like to thank and acknowledge our special guests Mrs Teresita Borthwick and Mrs Penina Barry from Sydney Catholic Schools, and Mrs Monica Palmer, Principal of St Mary's Catholic Primary School, George's Hall. YEAR 10 TECH SAVVY PROGRAM This year, students from Year 10 were given the opportunity to volunteer to visit Bankstown City Library to help elderly citizens with troubles they may be having using their devices and surely enough many students were quite eager to stand up and help out.

SBS seeks to inspire greater understanding between diverse communities and contribute to the health of our vibrant and cohesive multicultural society. The Prime Minister recently highlighted SBS on the world stage as the media organisation in Australia that is “interpreting and celebrating our multicultural society and the values of mutual respect to the whole society.” SBS seeks to increase awareness of the contributions that the many cultures of Australia make to the development of the Australian community as a whole. SBS provides an extensive range of programs and services to support migrant settlement in Australia, including through its many in-language radio programs, and particularly its practical in-language Settlement Guides.
