Saint Ignatius College Geelong
Term 3 Holiday Program - Community Connections
On the first Tuesday of the holidays, myself and Mr. Tod ventured, with seven Saint Ignatius College students from years 7-11, to Iona College to participate in a Community Connections Day. The aim of the day is to engage with young people who have recently come to Australia, most with refugee and underprivileged backgrounds.
Throughout the day, students from SICG participated in a series of planned workshops and activities, supporting these young people in each of the tasks. Some of the highlights of the day included a soccer match, charm making, skipping and even badge making! A highlight for me was getting to know the vivacious personalities of some of the young people who had not let adversity dim their light, as well as getting to know our students more. This was such a rewarding day for all involved as it reminded us of our blessings and the good we can do for others in our community – I encourage everyone to get involved in the program next
year as it was an unforgettable experience for all of us involved.

Term 4 Christmas Hampers
Once again we are conducting our Christmas Hamper Appeal (CHA) to help make other families’ Christmas a special time. During the next four weeks we ask that those who can and wish to donate to please send to school with your children an item or items from the lists provided below.
The CHA will run from the Monday 14th October to Friday 15th November.
As a Catholic and Ignatian community, we believe in walking with those in their challenges, demonstrating compassion and bringing hope and joy. So please remember those in need when selecting a food item and think of the type of foods you appreciate eating at Christmas time.
Your generous contributions and positive attitudes towards this initiative are greatly appreciated!
