Wonderful Stories to share…

A wonderful story of generosity and kindness. Please read Sophia Scicluna’s story on what she did as an act of kindness.

A great achievement for Victoria

Panayi. Victoria auditioned for the

MELBOURNE YOUTH ORCHESTRA

on the 23rd of November. She was

offered a position in the Orchestra as a

violinist.

She will commence this position next

year in February 2020. This means that

every Saturday Victoria will participate

in 3 hour rehearsals and perform at

public events in and around Melbourne

such as carols by candlelight.

Congratulations Victoria!!!

Carols at CanaThe evening turned out to be wonderful and we’re glad the weather held up.

Great to see all the performances by our children on center stage. They were very passionate and involved which was pleasant to watch.

Thank you to everyone who made this evening possible and hope all families enjoyed Carols at Cana.
