Christmas Comes Early: Santa4Santa Day
Christmas came early to Santa Maria this week as students raised funds for our Christmas Appeal at our annual Santa4Santa Day. Our Service co-curricular groups set up stalls to raise funds for St Pats, Vinnies and Shopfront.
Activities included a raffle, lucky dip, games and ‘guess the number of lollies in a jar’, there was also cupcake decorating and our Eco Sisters selling eco packs. An array of food was on offer from a cake stall to chicken nuggets, hot chips and ice creams; but the day would not be the same without Santa Clause and his helpers!
Santa4Santa Day raised $1931 this year!
Christmas time is a time when many families in the community struggle. Students are encouraged to support our annual Christmas Appeal. Items of food, toiletries and other items can be left in Homeroom or delivered to the Student Services until Friday 16 November.
