Giving Day — 2024 Imagine
Anticipation is building for the launch of our annual All Hallows’ Giving Day this Thursday 6 June. This year’s Giving Day theme, Imagine, calls us to envision the difference each member of our community can make for someone else.
Mother Teresa said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples”, reminding us that with each individual contribution, regardless of its size, we collectively possess the power to change lives.
Just as Catherine McAuley could never have envisaged the ripple effect of using her inheritance for the benefit of others, impacting millions of women and children across the world, let us imagine the ripple effect if every member of our community gave just $5, $10 or even $2, and the monumental difference we could make for someone else.
Our goal this year is to raise $192,480 for the Catherine McAuley Bursary Fund, which supports students’ access to an All Hallows’ education.
We are very grateful to the many caring individuals within our community who have already contributed, those volunteering in our Volunteer Hub this Thursday, and our social media ambassadors raising awareness of this worthwhile cause.
Thank you to each member of our generous community for supporting of All Hallows’ Giving Day.

Junior Production
Our Years 7 and 8 students are buzzing with excitement for the Junior School production, Fight with all Your Might the Zombies of Tonight! which will be held this Thursday and Friday.
This highly anticipated event, held biennially, showcases the hard work and talent of some of our Years 7 and 8 students.
Under the guidance of our expert Drama teachers, Ms Sue Pearn and Ms Lydia Patterson our performers have been enthusiastically rehearsing for this spectacular showcase. We extend our gratitude to them and all staff members who have worked tirelessly to bring this wonderful development opportunity for our students to the stage.
We wish our budding thespians all the best for their upcoming performance which will be enjoyed by their peers, as well as parents and caregivers of the cast members and our wider community.
