🎄✨ As we come to the close of another wonderful year, we extend our warmest wishes to our community for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄✨ We ended the year on a truly special note with our Carols in the College. A magical evening filled with music, joy, and community spirit joined by choir students from St Joseph's Primary School Schofields. Our talented performers lit up the stage, spreading festive cheer and creating a memorable celebration for all who attended. 🤍🎶 We sincerely thank everyone who joined us on the night and generously donated food items to the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. Thanks to your kindness, we filled many baskets to the brim, bringing hope and joy to families in need this Christmas. 🧺💙 Thank you to the StJPII & St Josephs community for your incredible generosity and continued support.
