LOST:
Does anyone’s son in the Primary School (Grade 3 up) have the wrong school shorts? At swimming last Friday one child was left to wear home some-one else's shorts. The shorts he wore home had the initial HS on it. These belonged to a former student, so they have been bought through the second-hand shop. The ones we are looking for have Rosario written on them. Mothers, please check that your son is wearing the correct shorts! If found, please return to the Grade 3 classroom or the College office.

LOST:
Missing is a black sports windcheater. It has an iron on label with the name of PEPPING attached to the neckband. This item has been missing for 3 weeks. Mums of Grade 5/6 girls … could you especially please check in case it has made its way to your home.

LOST:
School jumper belonging to Catherine Verleg. Last seen at Gippspell Competition, Beaconhills College, 5th August. (The jumper has not been handed in at Beaconhills) Did anyone from our school pick it up?
If found please return to the office or directly to Catherine.

MAJELLAN PRAYER GROUP

The next evening for the Majellan ladies is:
Friday 28th August at the home of Annette Hosie.
Address: 46 Railway Ave, TYNONG

Theme for Meeting: FRIDAY RECIPE SWAP. If you are anything like me you might often be looking for new ideas for what to prepare for Friday night’s dinner. Sometimes we don't want vegetarian quiche or fish and chips. Do you have some different recipes that you are prepared to share? If so please bring them along and I will be happy to compile a small booklet in time for the next meeting to give to everyone.

All ladies of the parish most welcome to attend.
At 7.30pm the rosary is said.
Following will be a short meeting and then the evening concludes
with supper and social time.
Please bring a plate.
Pauline Phillips. (Majellan Group Co-ordinator)
