The gardening gurus😁🤠 at Chisholm Catholic Primary Bligh Park have outdone themselves yet again, not only producing an amazing harvest from their school garden🥕🫑🥒🌞 but what a wonderful idea to invite the school community to come along, see the produce, and purchase some vegetables or herbs to take home.😋😎 There was plenty to go around including carrots, beetroots, cucumber, lettuce, a huge variety of herbs and so much more.😇😊 It was such a proud moment for students who have spent considerable time tending to the gardens. It offers them a way to learn about the environment and sustainability, develop new skills and knowledge, connect with their peers and have a peaceful place they can enjoy.

Had to share these grainy pics and link to this powerful story from Catholic Outlook of Bishop Vincent's recent visit to the John Moroney Correctional Centre on Holy Thursday. 😇🙏 The Bishop celebrated the Eucharist and then washed the feet of prisoners, a gesture to reflect Jesus washing the feet of the apostles at the Last Supper.✝ ==> Read the full story here: https://catholicoutlook.org/it-softens-the-environment-of-steel-bars-bishop-vincent-washes-the-feet-of-inmates-on-holy-thursday/ Diocese of Parramatta

Schools pay ANZAC tribute
With ANZAC Day recognised at the end of the school holidays this year, local schools are getting in early with their ceremonies, remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Monday's event at Penola Catholic College was coordinated by history teacher Nicholas Hall, whose personal connection to the day made it even more significant.
