NOTRE DAME CATHERINEMCAULEYResolve to do good today andbetter tomorrow.
As the weather became increasingly worse as the day progressed yesterday I seriouslyquestioned my decision to brave the elements with only the protection of a cardboardbox and my sleeping bag. However, the thought of so many having to do this each andevery night of the year without the relative safety of a very secure school setting made meconsider that I was, perhaps, being a bit soft. So, ably accompanied by David Shumack(Bursar) and Jason Tyrrell (Year 5 Teacher), we took on the challenge in the knowledge thatit was to be only one night and there was plenty of coffee to keep us internally warm evenif, externally, we were freezing. After an uncomfortable night on the hard concrete floorwe awoke full of energy for the day ahead. Thank you to all families for donating the goldcoin for Pyjama Day. We will invite a member of the Notre Dame chapter of the St Vincentde Paul Society to an assembly in the near future to receive this on behalf of those ingreat need. The total amount collected for the day was $501.25.
A very special thank you to Mario Fisicchia who brought us each a large hot chocolateduring the evening to help keep us warm.
