St Philip Neri Catholic Primary School Northbridge

M***I DAY FRIDAY 8 AUGUST
PLEASE HELP US FUNDRAISE FOR OUR DIOCESAN HOMELESSNESS SERVICES

There is no place like home – but for many having a home is not a reality. The causes may be diverse, but the impact is the same – a loss of dignity and a sense of hopelessness.​ Dom’s Place in Hornsby and Mary Mac’s Place in Woy Woy support men, women and families experiencing homelessness or social isolation. These hubs are operated by CatholicCare, our dedicated Diocesan social services agency.

Please support our m***i day on Friday 8 August (coinciding with Mary MacKillop’s Feast Day). Your donations allow us to keep these essential services running. We are going cashless this year with all donations through QKR!

Young people deal with a range of issues online, including the pressure to send ‘nudes’ or online sexual harassment. The Commissioner has developed an informative video for parents and carers to help support young people and how to get help.

We are building Eileen O’Connor Catholic School, a purpose-built K–12 campus in Tuggerah, designed to provide specialist, faith-based education for students with moderate cognitive disability, autism and/or complex learning needs. This is more than a construction project. It’s a shared mission to create a school where every child is seen, known, and supported to thrive and be fully embraced and understood. Accepted for who they are and the great gifts they offer our community.
The Tuggerah campus will become the base school of Eileen O’Connor Catholic School. It will offer:
• Specialist classrooms
• Small class sizes with expert staff
• Seamless pathways from early learning to post-school transitions
• Integration with the wider Central Coast school precinct
• A place built with Catholic values at its core
This $65 million project is being funded by Catholic Schools Broken Bay, with support from government grants, and from community and corporate partners who believe in what this school means to our community.
How You Can Help
To make this vision a reality, we are inviting the community to get involved through:
• Donations and major gifts
• Business or corporate sponsorships
• Keeping connected in the progress of the school
• Most importantly, by helping us share this story
Every contribution — big or small — is a brick in the foundation of something truly special. Together, let's build a school. https://bit.ly/4diIZLR
