This week in Big Ideas, the year 7 students were lucky enough to be visited by Sister Frances. She came in to talk to the students about the work that she does in Peru, and also about Irene McCormack. She made sure that she discussed various aspects of life in Peru, to ensure that the students realised how lucky they were to live in a country with such abundant gifts, when others around the world have so very little.
With this in mind, the students set about making Christmas stockings. They were working in pairs to decorate both sides of the stocking, which they then sewed together using blanket stitch. These stockings will be donated to the Vinnie's Christmas appeal, along with the other kind donations students are bringing in from home.
