Sharing the Joy of  Christmas

 As we move toward the Seasons of Advent and Christmas we are reminded that Christmas is not a season of joy for many in our community who struggle to make ends meet.

At Tenison Woods College we encourage all staff, students and families to share the joy of Christmas with others in a range of ways.  We encourage each family to discuss how they can contribute to sharing the joy of Christmas this year.

Some classes will be preparing food and cards for the Community Christmas lunch.

Giving Tree……Small gifts or monetary donations can be placed under the Giving Tree in the Front Office. At the end of term a presentation will take place to local agencies AC.CARE & St Vincent dePaul. We encourage families to consider purchasing a gift to place under the tree to be distributed to those in need in our local community. Please do NOT wrap gifts.

Sunset Community Kitchen….donations of small toiletry items to be given as gifts at Christmas.
