City Mission Spring Food Drive
Our Principal, Ross Patterson and I attended the launch of the annual City Mission Spring Food Drive 1 September. We have a long standing community connecton with City Mission and are once again supporting their drive to help to restock their Emergency Relief pantries. Every item goes straight to someone doing it tough in our local community. You may remember Prep student, Arthur’s work earlier this year when he organised a winter collection for City Mission at Elphin (pictured above). I invite those in our community who are able, to help us continue our support of their programs by donating what you are able.
Where can I drop off donations?
Donations can be dropped off and placed in the City Mission Spring Food Drive containers in conneXions at Elphin Campus, or Middle School Reception and Robert Dean Senior Student Centre at Penquite. A list of suggested items can be found on this link. For further information visit https://www.citymission.org.au/spring-food-drive.

Some of our Year 11 and 12 students will be supporting Cancer Council Tasmania by volunteering their time at the Launceston Pearl Gala. This is the 30th anniversary of the event, being held Saturday 25 October, 6.30pm – 10.00pm at the newly refurbished Albert Hall. Information and tickets can be found on this link.
