Thankful Thursday – Thank You Cards

Each year, our school celebrates Catholic Education week, which is a week set aside to promote our schools in the wider community, and celebrate all the terrific things we do in Catholic Schools daily. Traditionally we gather with the four Riverland Catholic Schools to celebrate Mass together and host a number of different activities for our schools and our families.  However, this year that was not possible, so the four schools worked together to create a digital Liturgy of the Word, that we all celebrated in our own schools.  

Making our Gratitude cards was one of the activities the students participated in during Catholic Education Week. Together with the school captains I personally delivered some of the cards, while others were delivered from other students and also in the post.

The aim of this activity was to show our appreciation to those vital community members that have persevered during these worrying times, to provide essential services that have kept our community afloat.

Our thank you cards were happily received by members of our community. It is amazing how such a simple gesture like sending a card can make a difference in people’s lives and we thank you for taking the time to let students and staff know how these cards have impacted positively on your spirits.

This has been a fantastic opportunity to show the students the ripple effects one simple act of kindness can have.
