COLLEGE FOUNDATION UPDATE FOR TERMS 3 AND 4

Masks and Gloves donated to our Community – THANK YOU!

We are grateful for the support of our International families during this challenging time. Recently, one of our Year 10 International parents, Mr Chen, donated and delivered 5,000 face masks and 2,000 disposable gloves to our Community. This amazing generosity was facilitated through Ms Vivian Cao, Executive Officer International Program Augustinian Schools in Australia, and will assist our College Community to stay safe during the pandemic.  

THANK YOU, Mr Chen and your family for your generosity to the College.

Good Counsel Primary Terrace Shade Sail Structure - THANK YOU!

The Foundation would like to acknowledge and thank the many parents who generously supported the Foundation 2019 Annual Appeal to provide a shade structure for the Good Counsel Primary Terrace. During the holidays this project was completed and has delivered a fantastic covered play space and a more versatile learning environment with sun protection for our students.

This project has been made possible thanks to the generosity of our community combined with a Commonwealth Government grant facilitated by the Warringah Electorate and the Federal Member Zali Steggall OAM. 

Saints Community Golf Day and Lunch - ON!
The Foundation is confident that the Saints Community Golf Day and Lunch on Tuesday 27 October at Cromer Golf Club will go ahead. The Club has advised that following the COVID-19 guidelines will not overly affect our golf on the day. However, the usual social lunch that follows, may be held differently, to meet club event guidelines. The Foundation will still be offering Golf Day sponsorship opportunities and is planning an Online Auction during Term 4 to coincide with the day. We seek the generous support of our parent community with the Saints Community Golf Day and donation of Auction items. Further details to follow. 

Foundation Dinner Dance – cancelled in 2020
Unfortunately, the Foundation Dinner Dance and fundraising event on Saturday 29 August at the Manly Pavilion Ballroom will not be held this year. Due to the current COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions it is not possible to hold the style of event the Foundation wished for our community. We are sorry we won’t be able to enjoy the company of our many supportive parents this year. We look forward to hosting the event again in 2021.

Foundation Fundraising during COVID-19 times
In response to the current challenging times for all our community, the Foundation will continue to communicate and engage with our parents. Adjustments to various planned events will be made and communicated to you at the appropriate times.

Parents who may still consider donating to the Foundation, are very much welcomed and appreciated. Current calls for donations are through our Foundation Annual Appeal, attending our upcoming Saints Community Golf Day and donating auction items to our Online Auction in Term 4.

Thank you to our parents who have supported the Foundation this year by making a donation – we are grateful for your generosity as we continue to build a path to greatness.
