Mount Carmel's Faith and Community continued to focus their fundraising efforts on our own school and local community during this academic year in what has continued to be a difficult period for so many. The initiative is called 'MC Local Love'. 

We asked our school community to generously donate items so we could create hampers to distribute at Christmas. We were amazed how fantastically well our families got behind this appeal and we were inundated with items. We had donations of tins of food, biscuits and snacks, toiletries, gifts, Christmas selection boxes & tins of biscuits, boxes of chocolates, adult gift sets and Christmas toys and children's activities.

Mount Carmel PTFA kindly donated selection boxes for all the hampers and lovely Christmas bags for life to hold the hamper items.

The recipients of the 52 hampers, all families from our school either collected or were delighted to have a special delivery from Father Christmas and some of his elves in the school minibus!

We would like to thank you all for your generosity, a little something from everybody adds up to a lot and that has helped make a big difference to some of our school community.

Wishing you all a very Happy and Holy Christmas.
